## Description

Call Ranger uses pattern-based blocking to silence spam calls and SMS by blocking entire number ranges with up to 12-digit wildcards. Create unlimited rules to cover billions of phone number combinations, including global examples for US, China, Japan, and more. This powerful approach lets you fine-tune protection without needing to enumerate every number.

Key benefits include no registration, no subscriptions, and on-device privacy. It blocks both calls and texts, supports unlimited rules, and keeps your data local. Setup on iOS: enable in Phone → Call Blocking & Identification and in Messages → Text Message Filter; use 'Block similar numbers' to tailor how many digits to block (up to 12).

### Pros

- Flat, one-time price (no subscription)
- Easy to set up with intuitive rules and a user-friendly interface.

### Cons

- Performance can be slow when many filters or large lists.
