Why? Call blocking requires iOS 7.0 or higher.

Jan 19, 2014 3:49 AM in response to alkagrover4by Allan Sampson,The option to block a number "as is described above" is for iOS 7.
And your iPhone model is?

Jan 19, 2014 7:44 AM in response to alkagrover4by BobHarris,If you are not on iOS 7, then your options are:
- Upgrade to iOS 7 if you can
- Get your carrier to block the number
- Create an Ignore this Caller contact
- Get a "Silent" ringtone (Google can help with that)
- assign the phone number you do not want to hear from to the Ignore this caller contact
- Have the Ignore this Caller contact use the Silent ringtone you got from the internet
- Have the Ignore this Caller contact use No vibration
- Have the Ignore this Caller contact use No ringtone for messages
- Have the Ignore this Caller contact use No vibration for messages
- The caller you want to block will still be able to call but unless you are staring at your phone when it rings you will not notice it.
- If the caller is a threat to your safety, contact the police.
