Is there an app that makes it possible to automatically ignore and block incoming phone numbers starting with specific country codes? By defining rules or something.

The underlying idea: lately I have been regularly called by changing numbers, all starting with +242 This is the country code of Congo. My phone then rings 1 or 2 times and then hangs up. I want my phone not to accept those calls at all.

My provider has no possibility to block this.

If that doesn't work for you..then the way you can work youmail you would have to change your gps location..but I'm guessing youmail can't help you if the phone number that calls you always changes..then in that case you want Truecaller..it has the option to block any number that starts with what ever digits you input..that was the only way I had finally blocking unfixed random numbers calling me..I haven't received those fishy phone calls since a few weeks already..and they were calling me 3 times a day every day..weekends included!!..lol

That might work for you.
