How to delete 02 numbers?

Posted by idontlikemondays321@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 11 comments

I’m constantly getting called from 02 numbers. As soon as I block one, I get another call a couple oh hours later. Is there a way to bulk block 02 numbers?

Isn’t 02 London? Doesn’t seem too bad an idea. I’ve heard of people using this on iOS: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/number-shield/id1319082167 which lets you wildcard block numbers.

London is 020. There's other area codes that start with 02, Cardiff I think is 029

Ah that’s no good then - can’t block folk from Cardiff.

Telephone preference service can take you off national diallers but iphones, if you have one, have an option to block callers you dont know. Not sure about other models.

If you block all 02 numbers you'll end up blocking all of London, Cardiff (029), Coventry (024) etc all have codes starting 02

You can get apps like truecaller or Mr number which block spam calls. They're pretty good at detecting this stuff You're getting a lot of scam calls from O2 because out of all the carriers, they're the laziest ones to take measures against scams

02 or O2?

I think they mean that the number starts with zero two, no?

How do you know the scam callers are on an O2 contract/SIM ?

Call your mobile provider and tell them you're getting harassing calls, they'll let you change your number for free
