    That's the way all of these phones work. There is no way from a phone to completely and truly block a caller. What you get is more of an "ignore" so the call doesn't ring or notify you but rather goes directly to voicemail. If you want the caller blocked completely, the only way to do that is to call your cell carrier and ask if they can block the caller. Some carriers will and some won't.
