To be universal you'd nee to cover both ofono and modemmanager dbus interfaces, but the logic should be more or less the same.Thanks for your answer. I really think this should be included in the phone apps.
Do you know how to officially suggest this to Mobian?

But sure, if a community like this exists, I will add every scam number I get.

I do not have the knowledge to communicate to the dbus interfaces. I don't know what are they.
If I can my own code I could selectively block unkown phones outside my area, but accept from particular areas. So, I could put my own rules.
So, how do I communicate (I am a python person) with the phone communications?
