I have blocked a number, but can this person still get through to my phone if they hide their mobile number?

Hi, I was having the same issue, I have many numbers blocked but when then choose to hide their number the Phone would ring.


I have since found a solution.


Settings

Do Not Disturb

Manual


Allow Calls From - All Contacts


With Do Not Disturb on all the time, only people in your contacts can contact you, and all the people you have in your Blocked lists still stay blocked.


Just be careful when you have your phone on silent, this will stop all notifications coming through, including text alerts etc.


But for me its either this or change my number which i really cant be bothered to do


Hope this helps


Cheers
