Is it possible to block all calls from a given area code

publicler — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 01:30:08 GMT

Any ability to do this with Public Mobile/Telus? I'm specifically looking to block all calls from a given area code (eg. 403 or +1 403).

Thanks

sorry, no carrier gives you that.

But you can do the opposite with your phone setup, that is to only allow calls to ring for those on your contact list. But those calls not on your contact will still routed to your voicemail

While Public Mobile isn't the one to offer this, there are ways to use wildcards in third party apps to block phone numbers with matching digits. I don't recommend this though as you'd be blocking all phone calls from a large block of phone numbers.

Thanks for the clear response. Yes I've enabled silence calls (on iphone). I also turned on extended absence greeting and disabled voicemail.

Someone had used my number to fill in many business forms so I've been getting cold calls from businesses in a certain area code non stop.
