Block "no caller ID" is needed feature

Apple needs to add this feature. All unknown callers should go right to Voicemail. Then I can check at a convenient time. It would be nice if they also showed up on the home screen so that I would be reminded to check. I am getting 5-10 sales calls every day. Totally frustrating!! I know that this is a simple feature that could be added. I swear my older iPhone could do this.

I'm getting multiple "No Caller ID" spam calls every day. There does not appear to be any resolution through my carrier (AT&T) or call-blocking apps (e.g., RoboKiller). The app-makers claim that they cannot implement this feature due to iPhone design limitations. Apple could clearly implement this feature, but for some reason they have chosen not to.

The "Do Not Disturb" hack/workaround suggested by others is not viable. I need Do Not Disturb to prevent people in my contact list from calling/texting me at inopportune moments. It can't (easily) be used both for this purpose AND to filter anonymous calls.

Given the volume of "No Caller ID" calls coming in these days, it's unbelievable that there isn't a simple solution for iPhone.

5 years later and still no results. What kind of message is Apple trying to send to it’s users? That they are not smart enough to figure it out? They make more money via other means by not allowing us to the block these calls? Clearly there is a need. Their customers are demanding it. Why is Apple ignoring thier customers?

$1000 iPhone X is no more then a paper weight if it can‘t do a simple thing like block telemarketers!

My hubby and I have been having problems with our phones over the last few weeks. Up until last Wednesday, he had a droid, which was acting like it was compromised like crazy. I talked him into getting an iPhone because of the security, then this platform goes bizerk!

But as a software engineer and how I’ve seen these phishing calls coming through more and more, I’m wondering what the common denominator is... my speculation is that these are actually coming from everyone’s ISP vs their Cellular Service Provider. Just wondering. To people who posted here, who are you using for internet????

We use Xfinity!

I have been having the same problem for a few days. I have followed your suggestion and created a contact No Caller ID and a bogus number of 1-555-555-5555. I hope it works. Thanks so much for your help.

This is handled through your carrier not your device.

Contact your carrier to block private calls

I agree that blocking "No Caller Id" calls is the MOST important feature of any Do Not Distrub funtion. If the phone can display the message "No Caller Id" then it should be smart enough not to bother me with any ringing.

Truthfully, I've given up on Apple after iOS 7. Can Android phones block junk calls?

Not any of the ones I've had. I've had about a dozen in the last two years as my work swaps out my phone every three months. Blocking calls with no caller ID information is a carrier feature.

The reviews for that app look pretty dreadful.

Uh, this is what Do Not Disturb does. Been built into iOS since iOS 6.

too difficult to actually implement because of carrier policies.
