Fortunately, you can easily block a number on your iPhone, block unknown callers, block no caller ID, and even stop calls from hidden numbers as well.
Let's get started learning how to block nuisance calls on our iPhones. To begin our journey of stopping nuisance calls, let's learn how to block a number. Remember, you can add your own phone number to the National Do Not Call registry. Once your number has been listed for 31 days, if you receive an unwanted call, you can report it. The offending company will receive a penalty.
Not every nuisance caller is a telemarketer, though. Sometimes you get calls over and over again from the same number, so you might need to block a phone number just to keep yourself sane. Here's how to block someone on your iPhone:.
Return to top. This feature, introduced with iOS 13, will block unknown calls by sending all calls from unknown numbers straight to voicemail. If you don't have iOS 13 then skip down to the next section for an alternative method. With this feature you could miss important calls from numbers that you haven't listed in your Contacts, like your doctor or pharmacy. However, it's very useful for weeding out robo-calls, scammers, spoofers, and telemarketers. This method also silences phone calls made using this common trick to hide your Caller ID , even those made by people in your Contact's list.
Here's how to enable Silence Unknown Callers to block unknown calls on your iPhone:. You've done it! Enjoy the sweet, sweet silence. But remember that when your bank or doctor offers to call you back, you'll have to ask them what number they'll be calling from and make sure to add it to your contacts, or else you'll likely miss the call.
If there's a match, iOS displays the identifying label chosen by the app, for example Spam or Telemarketing. If the app determines that a phone number is spam, it may choose to block the phone call automatically. Incoming calls are never sent to third-party developers. If you determine that a number is from a spam caller, you can block the number manually on your device. Phone numbers that you manually block appear under Blocked Contacts. If you no longer want to use the app, you can remove it.

You must be one of those people who work at those despicable places who hound people like dogs. Um pretty sure I didn't do anything to get solicitors and political parties calling me.
I don't give out my phone, and I don't have debt. Maybe you should be less of a presumptuous, condescending asshole. Not really…. I keep getting a fake call from "Windows" trying to "fix" my computer. Really David??? We're on the do not call list so they hide their numbers. So annoying! I don't owe anybody any money, thank-you very much! These are solictors calling trying to sell me crap I don't want so that I will owe them money!!
Well, aren't you full of your self! I am 77 years old have a credit rating in the 's and do not owe anyone any money. I am not divorced and I do not have enemies that I know of. So, I must have some other reason to receive these calls. So, your pompous advice is baloney. David must have smoked his brain cells away. I have non profit organizations asking for money. Cvs keeps telling me to refill my prescription and I don't want to.
Telemarketers keep telling me I've won something. No one should be subject to the harassment. I get these calls all of the time. I have no debt, no ex so why am I getting these calls? Be fair to those of us just get these calls randomly. Who says the unknown callers are bill collectors? Another dumb ass clearly , in my case it's a ex friend not some bill collector , you need something to do with your life ASAP do society a favor and drop dead!
Your a clown who lives in a doublewide and maybe voting for trump how do you spell trash I think it's David that's what you sound like. The problem is when you work in nights like me… And you can't keep phone on silent mode.. Because kids are at school and if something needed … I can't hear it… It sucks. Brian, it looks like you have yet to meet an actual crazy person. Nor have you ever come into a situation you have no control over.
Simple solution. If 'Unknown' is the caller you want to block, create a new contact called Unknown, then type the number into the number section. It will automatically put a space between the 5 and the 6. Save the contact, go to the bottom and Block the caller.
I was able to save unknown caller and was also able to have it blocked but she still calling me and getting through. Try to download it again that might Woork dide with mine take your time then try it again with a home phone or get one of your friends to call you back to see if that makes it Woork WLJ.
Just a little hint right down what you need to do go slow make sure you follow everything right. Sorry that's old information I have.
I'll sin you to words that will let you do anything you want to do and think you probably knew and thought about doing later. I was able to block the calls by copying and pasting only the work unknown and not unknown call in the phone number field. Works perfectly.
None of these tips work. They're all bullshit. Apple should do better. I agree, I'm getting calls from "No ID" so there is no number to block. However there's an app that exposes the phone number however it's a bogus phone number. Apple should do much better than this!!! Iphone Just add a contact name as "Unknown" then hit Block this caller, so it work on my. That doesn't work, because you can't add "Unknown" to blocked list unless it has a number added.
But in this case it's not "unknown". I just put Unknown into Work Phone, saved, then reopened the contact, scrolled down to Block Caller and clicked it. You should see your entry there. This might help, IDK.
My iphone 5 alternately labels them as Unknown and Unknown Caller if you look at i after the "missed call" … so I made up a New contact named Unknown as the first name, and copy-pasted the same word "Unknown" into the phone number blank.. I left it alone, but I made a second Contact entry named Unknown, and copy-pasted the word "Unknown" again into the phone number blank, and this time I edited it to take out "-Caller" using the backspace, so now I have both versions.
I also made sure to "Block this Caller" in the contacts list for each one. I just kept doing all variations on this, so we'll see what happens… If that is the best we can get from Apple, then we have to be inventive. I expect I could just block messages and not phone calls but have no need to do that and thus have never tried. I can do all this because I have an Android Galaxy Note 5.
It works on a lower grade Samsung phone as well. Perhaps consider changing your phone hardware — it depends on how important the issue is to you. On a personal level, the dollar value of time saved has made it a no brainer for me and it also assists with deep-focus get more quality work done. People don't know they have been blocked either, especially as I still get their text messages. I used to use an iPhone until an IOS update turned it into a brick. While it is fixed now, I defected to Android.
After 3 days of a fax machine repeatedly called my number I did this and it worked. Went to Notepad and typed the word "unknown" — all small case. Double tap on the word and copy. Go back, open newly created contacts and edit, hover cursor over the area where you add a number and double tapped again to paste "unknown" into the number.
It worked like a champ. Only got 1 Unknown call after this and it rang once and went away. I'm so glad, as I thought I was going to have to change my number.
This worked. OMG They have been calling me for days non stop. Now I blocked their dumb asses. This method does show a number. I don't know however if it is the real number of the Unknown caller or not.
So hopefully it works. Doesn't work for me at least. Did anyone try this for "Unknown Caller" and get the number ? Or did you try it for "No Caller ID" and get the number ?
If so, I'm not reading your mind. See, I just tried this step and when the Unknown Caller number came up, I was wondering why it was so long. Then, I figured out that the number is simply the words you pasted spelled out in their numeral counterparts. For example, on a phone, N and O are on the 6 key and C is on the 2 key.
I don't think it'll actually block unknown calls. You are a genius! Wondered why I was getting the same number! I hope that Apple will allow this number to be blocked! Its sort of like the letters and numbers you find on a telephone keypad. That worked… I did it…you are genius!!! Now let's see if I will get calls again! Thank you once again!!! This will block any unidentified call no number, unknown caller, etc and force them to call with a number.
Thanks Solution 1 :- launch Settings App. Only allow calls from your contacts list. Also do not allow repeated calls with in 3 minutes to get though. Yeah but this doesn't address wanting to allow normal numbers to call you why would anyone do this unless they are ridiculously famous. Makes no sense you want a phone so people can call you what if your mom is calling from the hospital? Do you have every possible hospital number programmed in your phone?
Every police dept? What if your buddy is locked up needs you to pick up his kids? This option is a joke really and I never heard of anyone of a sound mind using it. This absolutely does not work.
I thought there was once a feature but Apple caved to force this at the carrier level. Verizon at one point allowed this but for a long time it's a feature you have to pay for. On Verizon it's called FamilyBase and it's an extra 5 a month but it's the only "real" working way to block all unknown, restricted and whatever calls.
I think it's bull to pay for this but it's the only way so please stop these frivolous videos and blogs that give directions that do not work. And this BS method on here doesn't work at all not one call maybe once upon a time but not now.
It does work, guys. All you have to do after creating and blocking the 'Unknown' contact, is to reboot your phone. Mine wasn't working until I rebooted. I tried every which way… I'm being harassed by an ex for two years now. I even changed my cell number but they paid an online website to get my new cell. I'm so tired of this crap. Can someone please help me.
Also is there an app I can buy to block these frivolous, annoying, pathetic calls from my psycho ex. I am getting telemarketing calls from out of the country India that I believe are using Skype or similar to make the calls. I am doing everything above as well.
