Description
Prefixer - the original. Now with even more features and dual SIM support*!
A configurable (rule based) multi-purpose app that will prefix, suffix and/or replace numbers in your calls, provide customizable call notifications, call confirmations, auto handle calls, whitelist/blacklist numbers and more! All this is made on-the-fly based on your own set up rules. Just mix and match conditions and actions as you like! You no longer need to manipulate or change your contact list just because your calling plans or habits change.
The rules in Prefixer are set up using a number of conditions and actions that are easy to configure, enable and disable. When the condition(s) in a rule apply – the action(s) are executed.
Supported rule conditions: ✓ Number pattern recognition using regular expressions (incl. expression templates and a regular expression cheat sheet) ✓ Include/exclude secret and unknown numbers ✓ Contact list existence ✓ Contact labels (ex. Home, Work, Mobile...) ✓ Contact group member (ex. Family, Friends, Coworkers...) ✓ Roaming status ✓ Network operator (also handles multiple operators on dual SIM devices*) ✓ Location (country) ✓ SIM slot* ✓ WiFi connected/disconnected ✓ Day of week ✓ Time of day
Supported rule actions: ✓ Add prefix ✓ Add suffix ✓ Remove characters ✓ Replace removed character(s). ✓ Add original, prefixed or hide number from call log ✓ Lookup contact (caller id) ✓ Call confirmation - basic, manual, password protect, auto reject and challenge mode (party mode/drunk blocker) ✓ Auto handle calls - auto answer, auto answer via speaker phone, deny & silence call ✓ Personal call notifications with your own configurable vibration patterns, text, font sizes, alignment, colors etc.
Prefixer also contains an on/off widget for your home screen.
Great for country codes, calling cards, access numbers, phone extensions, SIP dialing, Google Voice, Skype to go, PBX, Centrex solutions, FRITZ!Box, speed dialing, call confirmation, Facebook contact sync and similar!
*Please note that dual SIM support is still experimental and might not work to 100% for your specific device. Join our Prefixer Google+ community for more information and to discuss, download and share rules with other Prefixer users: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/100517633555933616775
------------------------
You can add and share rules with your friends by using and scanning QR codes, web links or by file (*.prfxr). Complete rule sets can be exported/imported to and from file.
Prefixer currently supports these languages: English, Swedish, Italian, Czech, Ukrainian, German, Brazilian Portuguese ...with more languages coming/currently being updated
------------------------ About in-app purchases: Prefixer is free to use, but comes with some limitations unless supportively unlocked by an in-app purchase. A maximum of one (1) rule for outgoing calls and one (1) rule for incoming calls will be able to be triggered until app is unlocked. ------------------------
Please note! If you want to use the widget, install Prefixer directly on the phone (not SD). Otherwise the widget will be removed when enabling USB mass storage and not available until you reboot your system again (the same goes for every app with widget and A2SD functionality).
Recent changes: Please join the beta program for the latest 2.2 release of Prefixer with support for Android versions 5.0+ and later. This should solve most of the issues related to Android permissions (introduced in Android 6.0) and updated API:s since latest production version of Prefixer.

Powerful app, but doesn't work on my phone model Great app & I've updated to paid version to show my support and appreciation for the dev.
★★★★★
Took about 15-20min to set up and get to work right lol Now it works great on my Verizon galaxy s7 edge running on Cricket. Dont forget to ignore this app in your task killer and startup app killer if you use them. Rule #1 only works in the free version Rule#2+ works in the paid version. Im using the free version : ) Thank you Very mutch to the creators of this app
★★★★★
Top notch app Thanks for a great app. Perfect for people who call a lot of strangers numbers for work and don't want them calling you back. It has an option to unblock contacts on the fly as well.
★★★★★
Finally got this one working where no other app would. All I need is for 7 digit numbers to have my area code added, but not to add it to long assistance or toll free nunbers. Was able to get this app to do this no other app would
★★☆☆☆
GREAT IDEA IF I COULD GET IT TO WORK! I switched from Verizon to AT&T and kept my Verizon Galaxy S6. AT&T inserts a + (plus) brfore every incoming call phone number - screwing up Caller ID by making the phone think it is an international call. UNSAT!!! AT&T Customer 'Service' is unable to provide a fix so I tried Prefixer. A great idea, but I can't get it to remove the leading + sign on incoming calls. I tried \x.* as my incoming call screen and used \+ as the code to remove characters. IT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME. Hence the app is useless.
★★☆☆☆
Prefixer is working fine for outgoing calls on my Samsung S7. Can't get it to work on incoming calls. + precedes each number. Anyone have a fix?
