How to block" No Caller ID " call from my iPhone

you can block all numbers not in your contact list by doing this:

1. go to settings
2. open "Do Not Disturb"
3. slide on "Manual"
4. tap on "Allow Calls From"
5. Select "All Contacts"

All calls from numbers not on your contacts list will now be blocked. You can however still see all numbers that attempted to call you as missed calls. Verify the numbers and if legit, add them to your contacts list to receive any future calls from them.

Sprint is also being sued by the FCC for "cramming" cell phone bills. It's not a company I would ever do business with.

I've tried the solutions here, (creating a "Non Caller" number with 000-000-0000 isn't recognized on my iPhone & won't block - setting the "Do Not Disturb" to only allow callers in my contacts list doesn't stop the "No Caller ID" calls from getting through) so neither have worked for me. I'm with Verizon & for $4.99 more per month, they do have a service that'll block them. Just haven't decided if the 3 or 4 "No Caller ID" calls I get per day are worth paying even *more* on my monthly bill than I already am. Sure wish Apple had a ready solution for this annoying problem like Android phones, which, from what I've gathered, have built in blocking for these types of calls.

Blocking a call on the phone doesn't really block it; the call has already made it to the phone. All blocking does is send it to voicemail. You can easily do this yourself; if there is no number, just double-press the SLEEP button.

If you are serious about blocking numbers you should contact your carrier. They are the only ones who can block numbers before they are sent to your phone. Most carriers offer blocking services (including No CLID calls) for a small monthly fee.

You

can’t

block

no caller ID

Your carrier may be able to if you ask them

I kept getting calls from NO Caller ID. I don't want to limit calls to just my contacts list. So to block this type of call:

Create a new contact called something like Non-Caller or No-Caller

Enter 000-000-0000 for the phone number.

Scroll down and select Block this Caller

This should stop calls from calls that come from "zero" numbers.

If you want to know who you are getting a call from when it says "Unknown Call" you can go to www.trapcall.com and sign up for their service. They have three different pricing plans. As of now I think it's $4/$8/$20 per month. This will remove the "unknown call" feature and actually show you the phone number. It enables you to blacklist the phone number and record their calls. Handy if you are getting harassed by telemarketers and you need to report them.

These were the instructions my carrier gave me.

3 years later and still you can't block bozos that withhold their numbers! i have downloaded and deleted 4 apps that say they can do this but they CAN'T as they ALL NEED AN INCOMING NUMBER and you don't need an app to block an incoming number as that is automatically set up in your phone settings! apple really need to do something - the only cretins that withhold their number are: overseas sales, trolls or abusive callers!

The "aid" suggested within this reply is DANGEROUS.

Reason: The calls are not blocked, they are merely silenced.

That means: If e.g. an unwanted person calls you, they will still get through and only get the impression that you simply do not answer the phone.

In the case of patient hard-case type callers (e.g., stalkers, ex-girl/boyfriends etc.), this can actually further agitate the caller and motivate him to pursue further means of contacting you (e.g. paying people a visit, sending receipt-requested letters etc.).

In contrast: Blocking unwanted callers through the standard iOS blocking feature immediately cancels ingoing calls, giving the impression that your number is disconnected / not available, which would be the expected & desirable behaviour.

The question is to stop no caller ID not other contacts that are not saved. I don't mind receiving calls with numbers showing it's NO CALLER ID as stated above in the original question.

Has anyone found a way???? HELP x

You can create groups from the contacts app in your account at www.icloud.com - https://support.apple.com/kb/ph2667?locale=en_US

And that video hint does not stop only calls with no caller id. It stops all calls, from anyone and everyone, not in the “allowed” contacts group.

What is needed is for cellular telephone service providers to implement anonymous call blocking - something they’ve routinely offered to landline subscribers for decades now, but have steadfastly refused to implement on their cellular telephone networks.

Hello. THANK YOU SOO MUCH! Been plagued up to three times a day by withheld number. It's actually a double glazing firm that I asked to be removed from their d/b. They then switched to calling from unknown number. Not just me hundreds more. Thanks to you I now have peace. A grateful technophobe 🙂

We to the same question. Its an old thread, but the problem still persists, and as this is the thead that shows up near the top in google searches, this is where we reply

Having an option to auto-reject any incoming calls without at least a phone number would be a nice option to add to iOS.

Lawrence, what you say may be generally true, but not always. For months now I've had 3-4 "Unknown" or "No Caller ID" calls per day, and if I *do* answer them, thecaller disconnects. If I don't answer them, no voicemail is left me. I'm pretty sure no one hates me enough to continually pester me this way. Rather, I believe this may be a mining scheme to record voice ID data, or some other scheme I can't even imagine. I appreciate your kindness and patience to give your time answering forum questions. I come down on the side of those who want the choice whether to block unknown callers. Maybe it used to. be a "bad idea," but no longer. Apple should do this.

That's not technically true. While there is no number, the operating system, iOS, could very well give the user the option to config enable "Block all calls without caller ID data". So if a call comes in with no phone number, the phone never rings. It is doable - the phone can give the user the options of what to do when an incoming call is completely unidentifiable. But Apple chooses not to.

Could be a bad idea, but giving uses the CHOICE is the question, not whether its a good idea for everyone.
For me, I want it because I'll never answer a cell call from a blocked number. If I want you to call me on my cell, I'll give you my number and if its important you'll identify yourself. Don't want me to know where your calling from, fine, and I won't answer. My physician has other ways of contacting me.

I'd like to have the OPTION of making sure my cell phone does not ring for calls I know that I will not accept, so I don't spend time having to get the phone out and deal with the ringing.

The default could well remain the way it is - it rings in, but just allowing me to 'block' an 'anonymous/nonumber' call is an option I have.. don't see where thats an issue.
