Blocked Caller

Hello, I blocked a number that has been calling and texting me. It shows up on the list of blocked callers in my settings, however I am still getting calls and messages from this number. How do I make it stop?


i don’t know who the person is and they call up to 5 times a day.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 12

Is it very possible that this is a spam call? I would guess that the number displayed and the number that they are calling from are two different things. Spam calls nowadays use what is called Spoofing, which allows a call from one number to display another number. Not much you can do about that. You can check with your carrier to see if they have anything to help filter these type of calls.
