Regex Caller ID (match suffix)

Question

I get calls from a queue from my phone provider. The phone provider distinguishes these calls by adding a suffix.

12345678

becomes

1234567801

I would like to make a contact with a phone number which matches all numbers matching the suffixed numbers in order to have an at a glance recognition of queue calls, as opposed to direct calls.

Is there any way to achieve this? Can it be done with tasker?

Answer 1

I don't know about any app that would allow creating a contact with wildcard or regex but you can consider Tasker to execute a particular action as a recognition of those particular numbers.

• Profile: State → Phone → Call

  • Type: Incoming

  • Number: *01

    * is the wildcard here which would match anything. 01 is the suffix you want at the end of the number.

How you want to recognize those numbers is up to you. Under a task you can show a:

• Toast: Alert → Flash
• Notification: Alert → Notify
• Popup: Alert → Popup

• May be, a Scene like this:

Answer 2

You may create a single contact with multiple numbers. Just copy >> paste the original number into a new number field and add the suffix. I don't think there is a limit to the number of phone number fields.
