Which numbers are blocked?

Saracroche blocks or identifies around 16 million numbers. Here is where they come from:

• 13 million are prefixes reserved for telemarketing, provided by ARCEP. In other words, if you receive a call from a number starting with prefixes 0162, 0163, 02688, 02689, 0270, 0271, 0377, 0378, 0424, 0425, 0568, 0569, 05987, 05988, 05989, 09475 to 09479, 0948 or 0949, you will not be disturbed.
• 3 million come from community reports: whole carriers, as well as individual numbers, can be reported by users.
• These lists cover both mobile and landline numbers.

All blocked numbers can be viewed in the app, in the "Lists" tab. And if you wonder whether a specific number is already known to Saracroche, a quick look at the reverse lookup will give you the answer in seconds.

The lists are updated daily, and each user report makes them a bit more effective. A number must exceed a certain number of reports before being added: see What is number reporting for?.
