Blocking Outgoing Calls:

Set your iPhone up with Screen Time, and you might be able to do this.

  1. Go Here: Set Up Screen Time for yourself on iPhone - Apple Support
  2. Scroll To: Set communication limits
  3. As it Reads: "In Screen Time, you can either allow or block communication—including incoming and outgoing phone calls"

"It is working by showing 'add to contacts.' Is there a way to avoid that screen? i can communicate by adding that number to my contact."

Block this as a Contact:

No. You will have to add this as a Contact --from there, block outgoing calls. If you don't want to remember the name, then make one up, naming it something out-of-the-ordinary such as "hotdogs & hamburgers" or just a line of hyphens or underscores (because it is vague and might not apply to anything).
