Blocking

If I block a ‘Caller’ and that ‘Caller’ changes their number, are they able to contact me (via text & call) using their new number?

Yes. Blocking is by the number so a new number would need to be blocked, too.

Block phone number exchange on iPhone? Reposting a prior member’s question that was not answered. Blocking calls from an entire exchange or area code I know that it is possible to block a specific number on the iPhone, but a lot of telemarketers these days use many different numbers from the same exchange. When I block one number they simply call me from another one using the same exchange with a different last 4 digits. On my Ooma phone service that I use for my land line I can block an unwanted exchange by entering the number on my blocked caller list using the area code, the 3 digit exchange and then ****. Does anyone know if this works on the iPhone? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iphone call blocking feature not working I received several phone calls from an organisation which, having researched the calling number, indicated it was a scam. I used the iphone blocking feature to attempt to block the caller but today received a call from the number I had blocked. The number is in my "Blocked Contacts" list. I assume this feature is not working. Please can it be fixed?

What if I keep my sim however have the number updated? Or is this the same as above, new number means the need to reblock?
