Blocking someone phone number to no receive phone calls is impossible bit one thing that you can do is , from that specific person on your contacts app delete the name associated with the number then send a text message and you can turn on silence unknown callers so calls from that person won’t get thd iPhone rings but you can send texts, this is not blocking because if you do that then you won’t be able to receive texts messages
