How to block unknown callers?

I get calls 24 hours a day from an unknown caller or callers. Is there anyway to block them without leaving my phone on complete silence for the rest of my life?

You would have to ask your wireless carrier if they provide such a service.
This is not done on the iphone.

How do I block unknown callers on Iphone 4

I want to block unknown callers. How do I do this?

On the iPhone with the new ios7 update you can block individual numbers from calling via the phone. However I don't believe it will block unknown callers. You would need to use Verizon's blocking services for $5 a month. It does block unknown numbers.
Good Luck

If there is no way to block unknown callers, will Apple address this this in the release of IOS 7?

If they aren't available in the App store, then they cannot be put onto an iOS device.*

The feature that blocks withheld numbers was blocking "Unknown" callers on GDR2. However, it does not block them in GDR3.
I believe these are international calls.

Yes, it's turned on.
When you say it's ok on yours, how do you know? Are you getting the same type of calls as I show in my screenshot?

How to block UNKNOWN or RESTRICTED calls on my IPhone 4s?

Hi austill87,
No one likes those annoying restricted calls. Let me enlighten you on how to stop those calls once and for all. By adding the Usage Control feature on your line, you will be given the capability of blocking restricted, unknown or blocked numbers. Here is how you can add the feature www.verizonwireless.com/usagecontrols

Cant block unknown call

How do we block unknown callers on new iphone 5s. ?

I believe there is a solution wherein only calls from your known contacts will ring on your phone and all other calls, including unknown callers, will be redirected to your voicemail.
Use your Do Not Disturb feature to only allow calls from known contacts. Other calls will be immediately directed to your voicemail.
Settings
Do Not Disturb
Select Manual
Select "Allow Calls From All Contacts"
Remeber to check your voicemail and add new contacts as appropriate.

Anonymous calls, Unknown Callers and 10 number limit on call blocking feature

I have FIOS Digital Voice. I hope that someone can give me information to help me out - because like many others here, right now I am regretting having this and have it unplugged more than plugged in - for a service I am paying for.
My number is unlisted.
In my account I have it checked to reject anonymous calls. However, I am still getting calls that are "unknown callers" and "unavailable" numbers. So, if I have it set to reject these calls why am I still receiving them.
Also, why is there such a low limit of adding blocked phone numbers to your account? It is almost like a part-time weekly job to rotate through all the numbers adding new ones, deleting old ones - and they are able to do this much easier, quicker, and they are getting paid, while I am the one paying for this service - which isn't working.
Can anyone let me know why the unknown callers are still getting through and if there is a way to add more than 10 numbers to the blocked list?
As it is, my home phone is unplugged because it has become a useless payment unless this can be addressed.
Thanks
BTW - Are the web/tech guys aware that when you are signed into your account, if you click on "support" from the top menu for "phone", it takes you to a completely different area and asks you to sign in again - but if you click on the "support from the left menu for "phone" it takes you where you need to go. But the website is a whole other can of worms.

This might help answer your questions.

Look into YouMail or Google Voicemail - both are free and allow you to block unwanted callers, restricted numbers, telemarketers, etc.

How to block MacKeeper and other browser ads

how to
block MacKeeper and other browser ads

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

how to block private incoming calls on my i phone4

It might not be any use to your situation but I find adding a default ringtone to those unwanted callers helps me decide whether or not to pick up the phone.
If it's cold callers that trouble you I would defintely reccomend this option.
If they know your not answering they will (although it may take some time) leave you alone.

This will not block any calls. It will only turn off caller id ,therefore not showing your caller id to those you call.
Only the wireless provider can block calls.
