    No, you will have to contact your carrier to block numbers.

    But you can set things up so they are less annoying.

     

    Find a silent ringtone on the Internet. Install it on your phone.

     

    Create a contact for the number. Give that contact the silent ringtone, and set vibrate to none.

     

    Set the texting entries in the contact to none and none for sound and vibrate as well

     

    now if they call or text you will not hear them. You will only know if you are looking at the phone and it lights up when they call, and you will have a missed call notice. You just ignore them. But it does not wake you up, or make you stop what you are doing to answer the call
