Okay. I guess I didn't read the original post closely enough.

I don't answer calls from numbers not in my contacts, and add them to a SPAM contact.
My wife gets calls from unlisted/unknown and spoof callers all the time. She used to be able to block all these with one "blacklist" setting when using her Samsung Note. Apple's iPhone has absolutely no way of doing that. Even my old Blackberry Q10 (with a free app) can handle this issue with one click. The only "solution" I've seen for this when using an iPhone is to set the phone to ignore calls not in your contacts. But this is her business number, so she can't do that. Customers and potential customers don't want to get your voice mail and, since she's on call as a doula, she has to get her calls when they come in.

I don't understand why everyone else can handle this issue and Apple refuses to fix it (and, apparently, has refused to fix it for years).

(Okay, I'll get off my soap box now.)
