Q: Can I block calls with NO CALLER I.D. ???

I had a number blocked that listed the persons name. This person changed their account to a private number. Now, when this person calls, they can get through because the call comes in under: NO CALLER I.D. I wasn't able to block it using the normal method. Is there a way to block this type of call???

iPhone 6, iOS 10

A:

Yes, you can switch Do not Disturb on for calls that are not from your Contacts list.

See below:

Configure Do Not Disturb. Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb.

You can schedule quiet hours, allow calls from your Favorites or groups of contacts, and allow repeated calls to ring through for those emergency situations. You can also set whether Do Not Disturb silences iPhone only when it’s locked, or even when it’s unlocked.

 

If the above is not working, you need to work with your cellular provider if they offer other options.
