Found a solution.


  1. Generated a full list of numbers in google sheets
  2. Generated a simple vCard with one number using this service https://vcardmaker.com
  3. Edited downloaded vcard.vcf file in code editor. Pasted numbers list above END:VCARD and added TEL;TYPE=CELL: to each line. (Can be added in bulk by replacing similar part of numbers, e.g. replace 555 with TEL;TYPE=CELL:555)
  4. Added this vCard to contacts. And then added this contact to block list in iOS (Settings - Phone - Blocked Contacts)
