There are times when you would just like to stop receiving calls from some people. However, of course, you would not want to fully block them. For example, though you would not want to get any calls from them but you are okay to receive texts.
There are ways for you to be able to have peace and quiet and one way is by turning on your Do Not Disturb mode on your iPhone. If you do this, however, all notifications would be ceased as well not only the person you would wish not to receive calls from. Another option is putting your phone on Airplane Mode. Unfortunately, just like the DND mode, each and every contact that you have will also not be able to reach you. You could also set your phone to silent mode or lastly, you could enable call forwarding which would allow you to redirect calls to another number.
One way for you not to be disturbed by calls without having to block the caller is by setting silent ringtone on your phone. By doing this, you could still receive calls but your phone will not ring loudly to disturb you.
DND would silence all of your call alerts and notifications. Though your phone would still receive calls, you will not receive any alerts.
This would allow you to directly forward calls to another number.
This will bring you off the grid. This means, your network will not work. All of your signals will be jammed and blocked until you turn your Airplane mode off.
To temporarily block incoming calls, we suggest that you put your iPhone on Do Not Disturb mode. This will not block your calls but rather it would block all call notifications. Hence, your phone will not ring. If you disable the DND mode, you will then start receiving call alerts and notifications.
Here is a guide on how to silence unknown callers. Though you will not see call alerts, you would still see missed calls from your Recent Call Logs. To activate this feature:
This would prevent your phone’s antenna from catching network signals. Hence, it would make your phone unreachable and would make it seem as if you are out of coverage.
If your call waiting is on, another person would still be able to call you. If you turn it off when another person would call you during a phone call, they would get a busy tone. If you wish for your iPhone to be busy when you are on a another call, you could turn off your Call Forwarding as well.
This would send busy signal to the specific number that you have blocked.
There are some call blocking apps which would help you do this. We highly recommend Truecaller https://apps.apple.com/us/app/truecaller-block-spam-calls/id448142450 and YouMail https://apps.apple.com/us/app/youmail-voicemail-spam-block/id308331524
Unfortunately, you cannot put a single contact on Do Not Disturb mode. Though that is the case, you could add numbers which you would want to go through even when you are on DND mode. All you have to do is add the numbers to your favorites list.
When you block someone, their voicemails will also disappear from your voicemail messages. Though this is the case, do not worry as you will still be able to retrieve your blocked voicemails.
