Open your recent calls, find the number, and look for the option to block or report it. Once blocked, calls from that number won&#8217;t keep lighting up your screen.<\/p>\n<p>But spam callers aren&#8217;t always polite enough to reuse the same number. They often switch numbers, which is why blocking one caller doesn&#8217;t solve everything.<\/p>\n<h3>Turn On Spam Protection<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 Spam warnings are worth keeping on, especially when your phone flags a caller before you answer. That tiny warning can save you from a pointless conversation.<\/p>\n<h2>Use Your Carrier&#8217;s Spam Tools<\/h2>\n<p>\u2022 Carrier-level filtering works in the background, which is exactly what you want when the phone starts getting hammered by random numbers.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 A paid feature isn&#8217;t automatically better. If your phone already blocks most spam calls, I&#8217;d skip another monthly charge unless the problem is genuinely annoying.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Start With Your Phone&#8217;s Built-In Blocking On most smartphones, blocking a number takes only a few taps.
