    I’ve always had an android, and never have had a phone that actually blocks a number. All they’ll do is send the call straight to VM.

      The only smartphones I have used are androids and know for sure that after the call goes to voicemail you can click on the call for more options and and block the number. Not sure if it gives the option during the call unless it suspects it is spam. I just double checked on a number that wasn’t in my contacts.

      May not be available on every model, but every one I have owned had the block option.

        Hm ok, if it’s a two step process that’s probably why. I can definitely see myself thinking the first step was it.

        Thankfully I haven’t needed to block anything in awhile, but next time I’ll look into closer. Thanks for the reply.

      Ah no, that’s a Samsung thing (potentially some more) where it is needlessly complicated to block numbers.
