In this guide, I have shared tips and tricks to block no Caller ID calls on iPhones. Often, you may get calls from telemarketing folks or random people who are just cold-calling you to sell something. If you are productive and don’t want to get distracted, you would want to block these numbers.

How to Block No Caller ID Calls on an iPhone

You can block all Caller ID calls using the Silence unknown callers feature or by activating the Do Not Disturb mode through iOS Focus settings. Let’s examine the methods in detail.

Remember that your iPhone must run on iOS 13 or higher to use the silence unknown callers feature.

1. Go to Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers.
2. Tap the switch beside the feature to turn it on.
   

2. Use the Do Not Disturb in iOS

Here are the steps to enable DND on iPhone. Now, under Do Not Disturb, you have to customize it so that your contacts can call you when the Do Not Disturb phase has been turned on. This means you won’t be notified or disturbed if anyone who is not a contact on your iPhone calls you.

1. Go to Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb.
   
2. Tap on People > Allow Calls From > Select Contacts Only.
   You can even use the Set a Schedule option to set a time during your working hours so that the telemarketing calls won’t bother you during that period.

3. Block the Unknown Number Manually

Here is another useful trick to block those pestering telemarketing calls that usually have no caller ID.

2. Now, go to the Phone app.
3. In the Recents section. You can see the number and identify it conveniently by looking at the time of the call mentioned.
4. Now, press the ‘i’ button beside the number.
5. Navigate to the option Block This Caller and tap on it.
