I don't know if I have power to vote, neither I'm demanding this. That said, what I'm going to say is just a suggestion, but I'm also OK if you do decide to do otherwise.

My suggestion is not to implement Silence, unless all the following is met:

a) call blocker accepts any text as contact to block (so it doesn't give errors of invalid number);

b) call blocker accepts some kind of regular expression so that one could say “^+55479?9675.{2}66$” to block all numbers that start with “+55-47”, followed or not by a nine, by “9675”, then by a random set of two digits, ended by “66”;


Currently, Blacklist Blocker (true name: com.kaliturin.blacklist) does part of this, but it needs permission to be the default SMS app. Such permission would of course conflict with Silence's request.

Finally, as an example, the user would either have to opt for using encryption or not to be annoyed midnight by unsolicited messages/calls from someone that took per contact information from a random someone else who shared it without peer's consent, or some random financial institution wanting to call “Fred” while the phone number carrier officially changed owner to user “George” since 2018, and whose organization is dumb enough so as not the remove that number from contacts list.
