Blocked calls

I have the iPhone 14 pro max and even though I have blocked numbers they are still able to call me on that blocked number. Does anyone know why and what to do to stop them?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello iPhone14promax1,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


Are these numbers still ringing on your phone like normal or are the calls going to voicemail?


Blocking a number prevents the call from ringing, but doesn't prevent them from calling entirely. You can find more info about that here: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If you want to further block this number you'll want to reach out to your carrier to see if they can block it on their end.


Hope this helps!
