That’s not the point of blocking someone! I don’t want to hear from them at all.

    If you happen to live in the US and use ATT, look into their ActiveArmor app. It has call blocking and can confirm that it’s a real carrier-level block. Caller will receive some call message similar to “this number is not accepting call at this time”.

    Idk if there is a limit, but maybe worth your time for persistent callers or ex-partners and such.

      No I’m Canadian. Nobody seems to know how to solve this as far as I’m able to determine. Thanks for answering though.

      I’m on the verge of leaving my violent ex, and I’d like to keep my phone number I’ve had for 20 years. I can block his texts and calls, but he can leave his usual vile threats on my voice mail. I suppose it’s useful for legal reasons, but ugh.

        I assume you’ve looked to see if your carrier has anything similar? ATT I think made it to help with the car warranty spam calls back then.
