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

Hi I too have the same problem, the message arrives with only header e.g. "VK-FLLPRP". Clicking on the "i" opens the contact, but the number is not displayed.

Even if I select block this caller there does not have any effect.
