What Is the Blocklist?

The Blocklist lets you prevent specific phone numbers from reaching any of your LocalOptics tracking numbers. Once a number is added to the blocklist it will be blocked automatically — no manual intervention needed when that number calls again.

💡 Good to know: The Blocklist is global — meaning any number you add applies across your entire account. However, blocklist enforcement is toggled individually on each phone number's settings page. A tracking number only enforces the blocklist if the Blocklist Enforcement toggle is turned on in its configuration.

How to Block a Number

You can block callers in two ways:

Block a specific number Enter the full phone number you want to block. For example: +18885551234

Block a number pattern using wildcards Use an asterisk * as a wildcard to block entire ranges of numbers that match a pattern.

For example: 1888555* blocks every number that starts with +1 888 555 — covering the entire prefix rather than one number at a time.

This is especially useful for blocking robocall campaigns or spam numbers that rotate through many different digits at the end.
