How to Block Unknown Callers

This wikiHow teaches you how to block calls from anonymous numbers on your iPhone or Android. You can do this by using Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, or by changing call settings on your Android if you have a Samsung phone. If you don't have a Samsung phone, you can download an app called "Should I Answer?" to block incoming unknown calls on Android. Unfortunately, there isn't an app or a setting available on iPhone that will only block incoming private, unknown, or restricted calls.

EditSteps

EditOn iPhone

  1. Open your iPhone's Settings. Tap the grey app with gears on it. You'll usually find it on the Home Screen.

    • This method blocks calls from any numbers that aren't saved in your Contacts app, meaning that you might miss out on a work- or appointment-based call.
    • Do Not Disturb also prevents other app notifications (e.g., text messages, email, social media) from showing up as alerts.

EditOn Samsung Galaxy

  1. Make sure that you have a Samsung phone. Samsung phones are the only Androids that have an anonymous caller rejection setting.[1]

EditTips

  • If you live in the United States of America, you can register your phone number with the Do Not Call registry by going to http://ift.tt/numkdw, clicking REGISTER HERE, and entering your phone number and a working email address. This will require telemarketers and spammers to remove your phone number from their call lists within 31 days.
