Does Whitelist override other settings?

[JoeB]

I set up CallFilter to block everyone except contacts. This sometimes causes me to miss legit local calls, so made a Whitelist entry +1518 but I still miss calls. Is there a way to allow calls such as these?

Hi Joe,
Did you add an asterisk * after the prefix in the whitelist entry?

The correct format should be: +1518*

With the * at the end, CallFilter.app will allow all numbers that start with this prefix.

I didn't have the * at first. I tried it today from a local number and received the call.

Thank you for the reply.
