Carrying our phones everywhere has its perks, but it also brings us to unwanted calls, especially from no caller ID numbers. These nuisance calls can be annoying. Luckily, there are several ways to block no caller ID calls on an iPhone. In this blog post, I will guide you through the process of how to block on caller id calls on iPhone devices. Let’s get started!
Can I block no caller ID calls on my iPhone?
Yes you can block no called id calls on your iPhone. There is no direct way to block no caller id on iPhone, but I have found some methods that can help you do so.
How to Block No Caller ID Calls on iPhone?
Method 1: silence unknown callers
With this setting turned on, calls from numbers not in your contacts will be sent directly to voicemail. However, important or emergency calls from unknown numbers may also be silenced, so use this setting wisely.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap on Phone.
- Tap on Silence Unknown Callers.
- Toggle on the switch to activate the feature.
Method 2: Block No Caller ID Calls with Do Not Disturb
With this method only calls from people in your contacts list will ring your iPhone, and all other calls from unknown numbers will be silenced.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap on Focus.
- Select Do Not Disturb.
- In Allowed Notifications, tap on People.
- Tap on Calls From.
- Choose All Contacts.
Method 3: Using a Fake No Caller ID Contact
Some suggest creating a contact called “No Caller ID” with a phone number made up of zeros to block genuine no caller ID calls. However, this method is not reliable, and we recommend using the above methods instead.
Method 4: Employ Carrier’s Call Filter Service
Check with your phone carrier to see if they offer call filtering services to block marketing or phishing calls. The process varies between providers and regions, so contact your carrier for more information.
Method 5: Use Call-Blocking Apps
Consider using call-blocking apps like Robo Shield or Truecaller. These apps can help identify and silence spam calls from unknown numbers. Simply enable the app in Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification.
What happens when you block a no caller id number on iPhone?
When you block a no caller ID number on an iPhone, the call will be automatically sent to voicemail or silenced, depending on the method you used to block the call. If you have enabled the Silence Unknown Callers feature, calls from unknown numbers, including no caller ID calls, will be silenced and sent directly to voicemail. If you have created a contact named No Caller ID and blocked it, calls from no caller ID numbers will be blocked and won’t ring on your phone.
It’s important to note that there is no direct way to block callers without a caller ID on an iPhone, but the methods mentioned above can help you avoid unwanted calls from unknown numbers.
