This method only works if the number is already added as a contact on your phone.

2. Then, tap Block numbers.

3. Tap Add phone number and then use the on-screen keypad to enter the phone number you want to block.

4. Next, tap the Add icon (the plus sign) to add the contact to your Block list.

Note: You can also navigate to the Recents section in the Phone app, and touch the phone number you want to block. Tap Details > More Options > Block number.

There are two ways to unblock:

1.  Navigate to and open the Contacts app, and then tap the contact you wish to unblock.

2. Tap More options (three dots), and then tap Unblock contact.

1. Alternatively, you can navigate to and open the Phone app. Tap More options (the three vertical dots), and then tap Settings.
