Blocking Companies:

No app is going to inform you of the caller's name. But, you can block out calls and message through these apps.


Blocking Callers and Messages:

Use Malwarebytes Mobile Security:

The free version blocks popups. The paid version blocks out known spam numbers, lets you add number to the block list, and allows you to report these numbers to the Developer. So, consider using it. Read the following post to see how to use this software: Blocked numbers - Apple Community. Get it Right in the App Store: Malwarebytes - Mobile Security - App Store


and...

Blocking Messages:

Using the App Called Bouncer:

For text messages, there is an app called Bouncer, which block messages out by keywords. But, if these are not text messages, then is would not be an option. Here is the link: Bouncer: Text Messages Blocker 4+ - App Store
