Description
Got tired of annoying robocalls, telemarketers and phone scammers? Just define phone number prefixes and block up to 150 million numbers - whole 15 area codes in the USA!
Forget about unwanted calls and spammers spoofing tricks.
No registration, no user data collection. WideProtect works completely offline.
There are two ways to add new prefix in the app:
1) quick one - open incoming call in Phone app, tap on action "Share Contact", then tap on action "Block in WideProtect" and then remove several last digits of phone number;
2) classic one - in the application, tap on "+" button, choose Country and check if phone number length is correct, then type several digits of phone number to block.
You can find short video manual on Help screen.
WideProtect is free to download. A subscription or lifetime license is required to use the application, but you can try it out completely free for 3-7 days (in case of subscription plan).
The app supports Family Sharing.
Please don't forget to give permissions to block numbers to all 75 WideProtect extensions through 'iPhone Settings -> Phone -> Call Blocking & Identification'.

IMPORTANT NOTICES:
- Do not remove the app from iPhone memory while it's updating blocking list - but you can do it after updating.
- Blocked calls may be forwarded to voicemail, as it works on mobile operator side (contact your mobile operator for details).
- If you use 'Do Not Disturb' mode, blocked calls may appear silently on Home screen and in Recently list - to avoid it disable DND mode.
- Sometimes iOS does not display WideProtect extensions in iPhone Settings immediately - in this case just add needed prefix to the app, then wait for 1-2 minutes, and then go to iPhone Settings.

Ratings and Reviews
Install seems to hang - update
Further to my initial review (below), this is an update.
The spinning ‘working’ wheel took 18 hours to clear but when it did clear, the app worked fine! Well done. I haven’t had a single spam phone call in 3 days. If you could do the same for spam emails I would be an eager purchaser.
Initial review:
I bought this earlier today after reading the reviews - it seemed just what I needed to block the multiple nuisance that I get each day.
I have installed the app and chose to block all calls from the problem country.
The app then tells me that I must first enable all of the extensions in setup. This I have done and received a warning not to stop the app while it continues the setup.
Setup has now been running for a couple of hours with the “work in progress” disk still spinning. The warning says don’t switch off.
What do I do?
The extension for 1, 3, 4 & 5 also show the spinning disk.
Help!!

Thank you for the update!
Works on my iOS 15.2
I’ve just downloaded this. Very simple user interface and does exactly what it is supposed to do.
It didn’t work initially because I had specified the incorrect value for ‘Length of complete phone number’. I’m supposed to count the length of the phone number excluding the first 0. So for UK users, this would normally be 10. Not a big deal but would be good if this was a little more clearer in the hints.
But otherwise, it’s a fantastic app! Thank you!
Developer Response ,
Thank you very much for your review! Usually the app is guessing phone number length by selected country, but for some countries that could me numbers with different length, so you should double check. I will think how to improve it :)
Thankyou so much
I just have to say a big Thankyou to the dev. I was getting so many international scam calls it was untrue.I tried a couple of the free apps and they just didn’t work for me at all, I was about to change my phone number but stumbled over this app first. I was very sceptical as the free apps didn’t work but as long as this is set up properly it’s fantastic. So thank you so much I no longer have to remember to put my phone into plane mode at night.
