iPhone 11- Blocking numbers

How can I block a number that I don’t want to keep in my contacts

I notice when I add a number to block and then delete the contact, the number is no longer in blocked numbers.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

How to delete blocked numbers I’ve blocked phone numbers and deleted it under contacts. But when I go under settings>phone>blocked numbers> the number is still there... I want the number deleted out of my phone completely. On this screen, if I click Edit, a red circle appears next to the number. You think you’re then deleting it. But “unblock” appears. How do I totally get this number out of my phone?

iphone 15.3.1 how to block a phone number 15.3.1 seems to have changed/deleted the method of adding a number to the blocked list. I go Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts > Scroll down to Add New... Now it will only block a number in the contacts list. This never happened before; it was possible to block a number straight away at the Blocked Contacts level. NOw I have to put them in my contacts list??? This is ridiculous. Please advise. If some idiot machine blind calls me saying I owe Ebay $300 I do not want him in my contacts list.
