(Number series to block at the end of the post)

Hey Everyone,

Truecaller allows us to block numbers through number series (eg. Starting with XXXX, containing XXXX etc).
I used it to block the number series of multiple spammers like Paisabazaar, Indusind, BankBazaar etc and my smap calls dropped to almost 0 after this, So i am sharing the trick for all to benefit.

HOW TO BLOCK SERIES ON TRUECALLER -

1. Open truecaller and go to settings. Screenshot20230417112636Truecaller
2. Click on block, scroll down, and click on block number series. Screenshot20230417112920Truecaller3. Select "Numbers Starting From" and Add the number series to block. Screenshot20230417113126Truecaller
And thats it, it will block all the numbers starting from the series.

Now, I am adding below the list of numbers spamming me.

  • Paisabazaar --- +91674
  • Indusind --- +91403
  • Other loan/CC --- +91803 / +91804 / +91806 / +91807 / +91124
  • Samsung --- +919958


Please add below in comments from your call logs as well.

Had used the same trick to block damn Byju's spam.

Better to block more than 5 digits excluding +91. Otherwise +91803* would block Ola/Uber calls as well (from drivers)

I havent tested for iphone yet, if you see the option to block manually - block number series, then it would work

Hi @legend101 bro, have a couple of questions.

I have TC installed but not set as default dialer. So, still blocking through TC blocks all those calls though I have block option in my Google dialer?

I am getting a lot of spam calls from 8826 series. If i block this series, what happens to some saved contacts which start with 8826?

Yes you dont need to set tc as your default dialer. Secondly the 8826 series shouldn't be in your contacts as the series are bought by brands only. But you can check if you have any such contacts. You can also add another number after 8826X to block so they aren't in your contacts

Yes, adding another number may work. Spam series is 88265 & I have a contact which start with 88264.
