Can't block sms with no number

I can't block SMS from senders without numbers(there's a description instead).

In IOS 9, I could block everybody, including the senders without numbers, and the ones I added while running IOS 9, still works.

But now, I cannot block new senders where there are no phone number but only a description instead of a number. I can how ever mute them so I don't get woken op 10 times throughout the night.

When I press the (I) info button, and then I press the description(where the number should be), I CAN create a new contact, and there's then a block option available to me, but i does nothing.

If I go to settings and try to block the created contact from the address book, it is grey and cannot be selected.

Am I the only one who has this problem?

iPhone SE, iOS 10.0.2

Same here, some spam sms don't have any number associated to them. You can't save them as contact and hence can't block them as well. Anything anyone found so far? Or is it a bug of some sort?

Also, since no number is displayed for the sms sender, i am not able to report the sender to spam filtering apps such as truecaller etc. How to resolve this?
