iOS: Get phone to show caller info for all numbers sharing a prefix/root?

**EDIT: I'd also be interested in a solution involving third-party apps or utilities.** I do business with the ACME Corporation and routinely get calls from different departments/extensions within the company (on my private iPhone with the latest iOS 18). Most of these numbers are **not in my contacts** (it's a very large operation), but they all share the **same prefix/root**:
555-1234-[extension 1]
555-1234-[extension 2]
...
It would be extremely helpful to have my iPhone (via the Contacts or Phone app) tell me that an incoming call comes from ACME. The implementation I have in mind that would involve creating **a rule or filter for numbers starting with 555-1234**, which would then **show some specific text** on the caller screen. Is this at all possible, and if so, how? Target real-life scenario: On any given day, I might be expecting a call from (1) someone at my company, (2) a second company, (3) the city council, (4) my library, ... and it would be great to be able to tell at a glance whether this is the important call I've been expecting, or some other random number.
