How to block "Unknown Caller" ID

I'm receiving annoying calls with an "Unknown Caller" ID. I've tried copying the name to my caller block list, but it wouldn't take. Next, I resorted to creating contacts for "Unknown Caller" by first and last name, but that failed. Finally, I assigned a silent ring tone to the contact by the name "unknown caller" but was amazed when the phone still rang. My only recourse is what I've always done, simply not answering any calls tagged "unknown caller" but I need to know if I've exhausted all of my options.

Totally agreed, a lot of scams is now using No Caller ID to call people to scams millions of dollars in total and Apple is doing nothing about it. What a shame !!!! Blocking unknown number / no caller ID is a very important feature to fight against this kind of crime. iPhone is really not up to people expectation for the price that people are paying, I'm an iPhone user and I know other mobile phone manufacturers already supporting blocking no caller ID. I would like to start a movement of #blockiphone so that people who do not want to be a victim of crime should stop using iPhone simply because Apple does not support blocking any No Caller ID function !!!!
