Blocking a number

I have blocked a specific number. However I still get calls… but they are from a different number, with different area codes each time. Can you please assist me with what I can do? I really don’t want to get a new number. I have had this number for several years. I’m so confused. This is clearly harassment. But how can I prove it’s truly the same person.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Perhaps on the 'retail side' of an incoming call, you may not

be able to block each one; I know I can't. Even with landline.


Some of those might still be scam or phishing types of calls.


There are support articles with different views or instructions

on how to try and deal with those. Some are like you've tried.
