How to Block a Phone Number​

Android devices and iPhones come with built-in features for blocking specific phone numbers. If the spam doesn't subside after enabling the settings below, try out some of the blocking tools provided by your mobile carrier, as outlined later in the article.

Blocking on Android Devices​

The steps for blocking numbers on an Android phone vary based on the manufacturer and operating system. You should be able to open the Phone app and select recent calls or call history. Tap the number you want to block and find the command that says block and/or report as spam. Confirm the request to block the number.

Some Android devices also let you block all unknown callers. While the process varies among different devices, you typically open the Phone app, tap the three-dot menu, select Settings, and then some variation of the phrase "Block unknown numbers."
