Hello, I was wondering do you know how to block a call from an unknown caller.

There are 10 pages in this thread. On every one of them it is explained that it is not possible to block calls from unknown callers. Yet you still found it necessary to ask.

I thought when you put your phone in do not disturb and had it set up to where only your favorites could make your phone ring no car ID gets through that the only thing is changing my phone number or turning my phone completely off and I don’t want to do either one because no caller ID brakes right through do not disturb do not disturb will not stop a no caller ID call even if only your favorites can make your phone ring no caller ID gets through that do not disturb should at least block every single call that is not one of your designated favorites to make your phone ring weather it’s no caller ID or not why does no caller ID get through do not disturb and once somebody who’s bothering you figures that out the only way to stop it is to change your phone number or turn your phone completely off do not disturb when you have it set up to where only specific favorites can make your phone ring only those people should be allowed to make your phone ring somebody figures out that do not disturb does not stop no caller ID the only way to stop that person to change your phone number or turn your phone completely off

Absolutely Apple should do this.

Apple either protects the customers paying $1,000 for an iPhone or protects the scammers there is no middle ground.

This must be a 5 second fix. Make a contact name No Caller ID and then block it. Simple, easy. I always had a few calls a month in the past now I am getting them every day. For the phone companies the customer doesn't come first. There is no reason for Apple not to take this step. I don't see why an app developer can't figure this out but absolutely no doubt this is a 5 second fix for apple to do. The response I see listed to just block all calls in the contact list is idiotic. I use my phone for business. I don't want to block everyone not in the contact list I just want to block everyone that comes up as No Caller ID or Unknown Caller. PS The Apple recommendation of just setting up a contact No Caller ID and giving them the phone number 000-000-000 absolutely does not work at all.

So how do we get Apple to listen and take action!!!

If you don't use your phone for business this might be a good solution. Are you saying Apple does not want business people to use their phone that business people should go Android. This is a deal breaker for me. Apple solves this problem or I go to Android for my next phone.

Yes because Apple needs to see this is an issue and it should be solved. Isn't part of the reason for the forum is for complaints to be voiced and if they represent a real issue for Apple to listen and solve. If people stop complaining will Apple solve the problem. If you don't think we should bring the issue up on this Forum then where do you recommend we go to get someone at Apple to listen. I would like to see 1,000,000 Apple users flood and overload this Forum and maybe someone will listen, they sure haven't been for the past decade.

My problem is when I put my iPhone in do not disturb with only my favorites can make my phone ring and wake me up No Caller Id goes right through do not disturb it would be nice to block but Do not disturb should stop that I put my phone in do not disturb so I don’t have to turn it off because I get calls from my favorites witch are family members emergency calls instead of putting so much effort into putting 2-3 different phones out a year put some into this major flaw when I had a land line 20 years ago that was set up to not allow calls from callers who do not allow delivery of there phone number and the $650 phone/computer can’t do t

I did the instructions of do not disturb then choosing only my contacts to be able to call but the "No Caller ID" and Unknown" with no phone numbers still came through. I even went through my contact list and deleted all of the unknown callers...but somehow they still got through. I had one FaceTime me...

What would you recommend I do at this point? I think I know who this person is...an ex boyfriend who used it when we were dating....but I have deleted him as well.. still get the calls.

Hi Etty I would like to know can I block No caller ID from my IPhone X pl

Did you bother to read this thread before posting in it? No, I didn't think so. Please go back and do so. Your question will be answered.

Everything is simple for ther person who doesn’t have to do it.

To quote General and President Eisenhower (whose family were farmers):

”Farming is simple - if your plow is a pencil and you are 1,000 miles from a cornfield.”

there is a feature on land line

why so difficult to do on a 1200 dollar phone

I realize this might be difficult to understand. But, landlines and cell phones use different technologies to work.

Create a new contact, you may name this new contact “No Caller ID”. Here is how:

• Launch the Phone app
• Tap Contacts
• tap the + button
• As phone number, enter 000-000-0000
• Tap Done
• Now scroll down and tap Block this caller. A popup will appear saying “you will not receive phone calls, messages or FaceTime from people on the block list” then tap Block Contact.

So buy a $60 Android phone if that is a very important feature to you. Have you thought about the fact that perhaps Apple intentionally does not offer this feature? I can think of several valid reasons for not providing it, but I'm not going to post them because that would be speculation about Apple's policies, which is not permitted under TOU. If you're interested you can probably think of some also.

I can't think about such a reason because there is no single one. You're just making up excuses for Apple.

And don't worry about me, you can be reassured that if Apple fail to deliver what I need as a customer, I'll try a different brand without the slightest distress.

Got my first “NO Caller ID” today. Yes, I know it is impossible to block them but for selecting “Decline” or double-clicking the side button.

That's also known and adds nothing new to the thread.

What secrets do you think Lawrence is giving away and to which enemy?

Keep in mind that the numbers are not actually blocked. The rings are silenced. You will still have a record of these calls just in case one was valid. Also, the callers can leave messages (but the scammers rarely do).
