Do you no longer wish to be reached for a specific telephone number because you do not wish to be contacted? Then block the number on the mobile phone.
Varies by phone
Blocking a phone number works differently on every phone. Below is how to do this on an iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S6 (Android 7), Samsung Galaxy S7 (Android 8) and Samsung Galaxy S10 (Android 9).
Block phone number on iPhone
- Open the app Telephone.
- Tap at the bottom Recent.
- Next to the number you want to block, tap the circular i icon.
- Tap at the bottom Block this caller.
Block phone number on Android device
- Open the app Telephone.
- Tap on Recent.
- Tap the number you want to block.
- Tap below Facts or the circle icon with i.
- Tap the three dots icon in the top right and then block number. For Android 9.0, tap at the bottom right To block.
- Tap on To block.
Unknown phone number
You cannot block calls where the phone number is not recognized. If you are being harassed by an unknown number, inquire with the provider (the provider of your mobile subscription) about the possibilities to prevent unwanted calls.
A company
Companies can also call you unsolicited. How to limit this can be found in the tip ‘Sign up with the Do Not Call Register’.
