This supports area code and local prefixes (but not wildcard local prefix). Unlike Trucaller etc., the privacy policy is ok.
If you want to block all prefixes, see WideProtect above.
Wow, that's fascinating to find out that is how the US works.
Australian mobile numbers and I'm pretty sure most of the European ones, are prefixed by carrier and have no geographical breakdown.

I'm not sure how/if that would work here given the active mergers & acquisitions in telecom. (Among other things, some of these require some customers to be divested to achieve approval of the deal.)

Prior to this, carriers could use as leverage the fact that people prefer not to change their phone number.
