Unknown calls can be a nuisance, particularly when you are getting them a lot of them. Luckily, it is possible to prevent them and enjoy your iPhone and iPad without having to deal with unwanted calls. iOS users can easily block a number by going to Settings, then Phone and selecting Blocked. However, in order to block an unknown caller, you would have to create a contact for that call first. Here we will go through the simple ways in which you can avoid calls from an unknown caller.<\/p>\n

M\u00e9todo 1<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Open the Settings App and then turn “do not disturb” on Manual<\/li>\n
  2. Select the option to only allow calls from your contacts list<\/li>\n
  3. Don’t allow repeated calls within 3 minutes. When you select this option, even if the unknown caller tries to reach out to you repeatedly, the calls won’t get through.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    M\u00e9todo 2<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Go to recent calls on your iPhone. Get the call info and use the copy feature available on “Unknown Caller”.<\/li>\n
    2. Go to Contacts. Select the + sign to add a new contact.<\/li>\n
    3. Using the faster feature, fill in fields such as first name, last name, company and phone number. Hit Done.<\/li>\n
    4. Now, you will be able to block the caller.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      M\u00e9todo 3<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. You can get a silent ringtone and set it as the default ringtone on your iPhone.<\/li>\n
      2. Go to My contacts and select a different ringtone for your contacts. This will ensure that calls from an unknown number don’t ring.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        M\u00e9todo 4<\/h3>\n

        You can copy UNKNOWN and paste it into blocked caller list. You won’t need to enter the number.<\/p>\n

        M\u00e9todo 5<\/h3>\n

        Another way to stop receiving annoying calls from unknown contacts is to use an application like TrapCall, which prevents “No Caller ID” calls.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
