White list, list of numbers by mask

[novatorr]

Hello. I have a problem. How to add a number with a mask like 818*********** to the white list. I have a virtual number tied to the main one, on the main number I want to block all incoming calls except contacts, but so that calls to the virtual (additional) number come in full. All numbers that call the additional number are marked with the additional prefix 818. (Example: 818-38(011)111-11-11). That is, theoretically, if you add 818************ to the white list, or 818380********. That should work. Tell me how to implement it correctly, and whether it is possible to do so at all.

Hello @novatorr

Sorry for the long wait for my reply.

Yes, you understood it correctly - your solution should work.

If Callfilter.app receives the incoming number with the additional 818 prefix, you can simply add this mask to the Whitelist:

818*

The Whitelist has priority, so these calls will be allowed even if “Block everything except contacts” is enabled.

There is only one nuance: please first check how such a call appears in Callfilter.app → Calls. If the number there really starts with 818, the mask will work. If the phone or operator removes this prefix before Callfilter.app receives the number, then this method will not work.

Thank you, everything works. Thank you very much.
