Blocking a number range on Android? (and iOS)

Edit: I'm also kindly going to ask for any Apple iOS suggestions. This is on behalf of one of the posters below who has asked about iOS. Thanks :-)

Some ambulance chasers from London have ignored the fact that I'm on TPS. They dial using a number range:

0207 946 2207
0207 946 2092
0207 946 2XXX etc

I'm aware that Android can block single numbers, but is it possible to blacklist the number range where the X's are wildcards? Bit like an IP range but with phone numbers. If not possible, then are there any app recommendations that can ban number ranges? Or even better, an app that maintain a crowd-sourced set of banned numbers that updates daily/regularly? (bit like a virus definition file). I'm happy to pay for the app.

Sure, they have to earn a living somehow and have a life, but I have to have a life too and earn my start. I have this on my door :D

I've been receiving calls from the same range. I'm on iOS so I don't think there's an equivalent app so does anyone have the range of numbers so I can add them all?

Hi there. I have edited my initial post to appeal for some Apple answers as well. So hopefully someone on here will get back to you on that :-)
 
Exactly Nade :-)

Once the range of numbers is added, it looks like this on the app's main page. The ? at the end is the wild card. You need to put +44 at the start and drop the first 0 for British numbers.
