I wish apple would allow call blocking apps

[Reality Bites]

Getting really annoyed with the number of repeat calls from autodiallers and the like.

It's almost impossible to get them to stop and apple dont allow apps to block the calls. I know you can 'break' the phone to install apps, but i don't fancy going down this route.

Tempted to swap back to an android device to allow me to block these calls. they seem to come anytime between 7am to 9pm.

Anyone any ideas other than break or swap to android?

Go To Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb > Turn Scheduled On > Allow Calls From "You Can Create A Group Or Add Contacts To Favourites" > Keep Repeated Calls Off.

This is a feature of IOS7. Wait a few weeks. or install the Beta.

Is it? Interesting! I knew they were allowing us to block texts from certain numbers at long last but not calls.

Not sure how much of a pain it is still installing iOS 7 if you're not a developer, but the latest beta released last Monday is very usable as a daily runner.

Yup I have a few numbers blocked within iOS7

That's great, it's a shame you can't block it from going to voice mail too, to prevent harrassing voice mails. But I guess that's more of a network restriction, not sure if that could be done through the device?

+1 to this idea. Would love to be able to block all the 0845 numbers asking my about ppi!
