I receive a lot of nuisance calls from 0843 numbers, which I have to bar individually. I am registered with tps service which is useless. I would like to be able to bar all incoming 0843 calls.
Never return a call to an 0843 number as these are always outside of call packagesand will be expensive.

Try putting just "0843" in your blocked nos. & see if that works.

I tried putting 0843 as a blocked number, but it doesn't work. Is there such a thing as a wildcard character?

Hi @Wayla,
Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂
Sorry, I don't think there is any way to block entire number ranges.

This is something I really need as well. Calls from 0843 numbers are becoming more and more frequent. The worst part is they only ring for 5 secs, I believe it to be a con so you ring the premium rate number back.. £3 from returning 2 calls for like a minute. This is also happening at my Nan's place who's in her 90's. Surely there are laws against this?

If you have an iphone go to Settings/ Phone/ Silence Unknown Callers.
This will send to Messaging a call from any number not on your contact list. Make sure your contact list is complete and includes numbers like your GP, etc. If you miss a call you didn't want to miss, add that number to your Contacts. My message tells callers that if they don't leave a message I won't return their call. I put any subsequent 0843 numbers on my blocked list and delete the number from recent calls list.
