Block a hidden caller ID number

I’ve blocked a contact in my phone for harassment, but they turn off their caller ID and the call goes through anyway. I can’t block all unknown or private numbers because of my business. How do I block a number that’s turned off their caller ID? Can AT&T do it from the backend for me?

The caller is calling from an iPhone.

Unfortunately there is no way of blocking an incoming call from an Unknown or Private number.

Hello, @Fordywinks1

 

Thank you for reaching out. There is currently no way to block one specific unknown number. You can block all unknown numbers or none. If you decice to block all, let us know the type of device this is.

 

Have a great week.

Are you on an iPhone? If so, go to your incoming calls, press info on the unknown caller, and then hit “Block this caller”

@TechMann ,

What if it is a NO CALLER ID?

Same thing. You go to your incoming calls, press info on the unknown caller, and then hit “Block this caller”. It’ll block all anonymous calls then.

I get a lot of calls that say Unknown call, Invalid call,  etc.  now If I look up these numbers using google I normally am getting no info on the number

not even 800 notes.  what is happening is various numbers from various area codes are calling daily

the number shows up but the caller ID says unknown caller.  I have nomorobo.  I want to block all these calls period

Because I am sure they are all some kind of phishing or scam related call.  

When I would get this type of call from legitimate but shady companies they would call from different numbers in order to get around the 4 phone call a day limit.  our AT&T phone lines are basically VOIP.
