Once blocked and if the caller is still able to call using the same number indicates you have not blocked.


In the Phone app, do any of the following.

  1. Tap Favorites, Recents, or Voicemail. Tap. next to the number or contact you want to block, scroll down, then tap Block this Caller.
  2. Tap Contacts, tap the contact you want to block, scroll down, then tap Block this Caller.
