Blocked caller bypassing iOS 7 call blocking?

It could be a bug. But you should also block at the carrier level too. That way the call won't ever reach your phone.

 

How can you block at the carrier level?

 

You can't. I've contacted orange to do this and they said to stop the calls I'd have to change my number...not ideal eh orange?!!

 

It must be carrier specific. I have done it on verizon.

 

Sprint allows you to do this via their website.

 

I have AT&T, not sure if they have anything like this. To be able to just block someone at the carrier level by entering their number on a website sounds pretty awesome.

Edit: Of course AT&T charges for this, why am I not surprised. http://www.att.net/smartcontrols-SmartLimitsForWireless

 

You can block up to 5 numbers for free for 3 months at a time thru Verizon website which is pretty neat and OP its most likely a bug issue but wont do it everytime. I had a call block feature from an app on an android and once in a blue moon the call would go thru.

 

How do you have the numbers saved?

You need to save the number with the country code stored.

 

It wouldn't work wothout that?

 

Thing is if the person really did you want to keep calling you, all they have to do is hide their number.

 

That's my understanding. iOS 7 matches the phone number so a blocked or unknown number coming in will ring through.

I used to use Trap Call which would unblock numbers so they displayed on the phone. I don't know if that type of service is compatible with iOS 7's call blocking. IIRC it was $5 a month.

 

Correct.
If they call you caller id blocked or unknown then it will come through.
iOS 7 will only block it if the number comes up and matches with a number you entered in the blocked list.

 

Call them and ask for the number you wish to block to be blocked. However, some carriers charge a monthly fee.

 

I recalled Cingular charging, I never bothered with AT&T but Verizon is free afaik. I used it and didn't see a charge.
