Hi! Can you block an unknown caller and in that case, how?

You can block all callers whose numbers are not in your contacts, but not specifically callers that display “unknown caller”. Go to Settings/Phone and turn on Silence Unknown Callers.

Ask your carrier; some may offer a way to block unknown callers. However, most phone spammers don’t block their caller ID; instead they send a random legitimate caller ID. Unknown Callers are frequently legitimate callers who don’t want to reveal their personal numbers, such as doctors, so perhaps you shouldn’t block them.
