Silence calls from unknown callers
Apple has a dedicated setting that allows you to block all the calls from an unknown number which means numbers, not in your contacts. Another good thing is that these calls go directly to the voice mail and are entered into your call list so that you can go and check them any time you want.
Let’s see how to silence these unknown callers:
- Go to the Settings app on your iPhone and tap Phone.
- Now tap the ‘Silence Unknown Callers’ option and turn on the switch next to it.
- This method will also block any important call that you might receive from an unknown number. So it should be used wisely.
Note: This method has a limitation. If you send a message to an unknown number or have received many calls from it, those numbers are thought to be contacts and they are allowed to bypass this setting.

Block someone from the Phone settings
If someone is irritating you by calling again and again the best you can do is to block that number permanently. It is easy to block such numbers or no caller ID numbers directly from the phone app. Let’s see how:
- Open the Phone app on your iPhone and navigate to the Recents section.
- Search for that annoying number and tap the ‘i’ icon next to it.
- Tap the ‘Block this Caller’ in the options.
- Finally, tap the ‘Block Contact’ option to confirm.
This is one of the most foolproof ways to keep no caller ID calls at bay, but searching and blocking calls from individual numbers is irritating.
As you might know, spammers and marketers call from several numbers so you have to keep blocking calls from all the numbers one at a time.
Use the call filter feature from your service provider
One of the smartest ways to avoid no caller ID calls from marketers and another malicious user on your iPhone 13 is to use the caller filter service.This is a DND-like service that filters calls provided by your carrier. However, this service differs a lot from provider to provider so you will have to research about the service or directly contact the service provider.
Moreover, all the network providers may not support this service in all the regions of the country. So it’s best to ensure you will get this service in your area before you move forward.
