The iPhone doesn't actually provide a way to block phone numbers. You can tap "Decline" when the phone rings, but you can't just tap a "Block" button to keep someone from calling anymore. For true blocking, you must sign up for a paid service from your cellular carrier or jailbreak your phone to download an unsanctioned app. However, these methods don't keep your blocking a secret. For that, your best bet is to give the number a silent ringtone, which won't block the number but will keep it from bothering you. Show Ignore
