Block a number

Hey! Ok so I want to block a number on my childrens phone. But it seems I can only do that by first ADD the person in his adressbook? Seriously? Is there no other way? I dont want the person in his adressbook.

If there is an existing call in the call log from that number, you can block it from there.

Otherwise, create a contact with that number.

Block the contact, then remove the contact.

The number should remain in the blocked list.
