How to stop getting international spam calls?

Adeline C. #5725

I have been receiving 6-8 calls a day for the past 2 days from international numbers, mostly area code 685. My phone identifies them as spam and I don't answer, but it is very annoying to receive. I blocked the first ones, but now it's a different number every time. Is there a way for me or Fizz to block all calls from this area code in the future? Or any other way to get the calls to stop?

If you got a iPhone you go in setting phone and you click on "silence unidentified calls"

At the moment, call blocking is done on your phone.

 

Starting November 4 2019, a new Fizz feature will be available.

I am using Android phone. My phone allows me to block/reject calls

- from private caller

- by digit filter (based on starting or edning digits in their number)

- from specifc phone numbers
