Call Rejection / Auto Reject List

I am adding a huge list of numbers to my reject list, most of them start with 1-800's. Is there a wildcard or something to just end all 1-800 calls? I am sick of Telemarketers and other stuff. Thanks again.
The best solution is to avoid receiving the calls all together. Instead of cluttering your phone with a long list and spending a lot of time doing it, add your number to the Canadian Do Not Call list. It is regulated by the CRTC and will solve your problem.

Since I did not use it in the version of Android you have (Gingerbread 2.3.5) I can't help you unless you update to ICS 4.0.

In ICS you can specify a reject list that matches certain criteria (Start with, Ends with, Includes, Exactly the same as). This way you could specify Start with 1-800 and it would reject all calls that start with 1-800.
