1 Block Your Contacts
Sometimes the problematic call may be a part of your contacts. It happens! Sometimes you put a number into your contacts at a trade show or party, then suddenly find yourself victim to endless calls from that contact trying to sell you something (or worse). Fortunately, you can also block contacts on your iPhone if you absolutely have to.
- Head back to Settings.
- Tap Phone, and then go once again to Call Blocking & Identification.
- Below any of the apps that you may have downloaded, you should see an option that says Block Contact. Select this to bring up the list of all the contacts on your iPhone. Select the right name to add it to your blocked list.

After you’ve registered your phone number with the Do Not Call Registry, downloaded an anti-robocalling app, and blocked scammy numbers, consider creating a secondary phone number to use in places where you DON’T want to give away your real phone number.
Think of it as a “burner” number for use in less trustworthy scenarios. Hushed is a solution perfect for online dating websites, Craigslist and other places where your real phone number is best kept private! This is a great step to help avoid future scam calls going forward.
