The op is asking how to block spam PHONE CALLS. Answering about sms or email spam is off topic. In fact no answer is provided because there is no way to block calls other than blacklisting manually every single unwanted caller or filtering all but saved contacts. Neither feature is really useful to filter spam. A feature such as blocking numers starting with +44 or +213 or whatever would really help. That's not available in IOS and I didn't succeed searching an app doing it. Apple please provide it rather than spending on embellishing icons!
