Have an iPhone 6+, 64GB on AT&T.
For a long time I have had two Contact entries: Blacklisted1 and Blacklisted2. These are for those telemarketing and other numbers you get and don't want to be bothered with. Each contact has 50+ numbers in them and all are blocked. Has been working well since iOS4? I think. Maybe earlier - I forget exactly when I created them.

Since I updated my iPhone to 8.4 I noticed that the number of junk calls has increased. Figured it was seasonal or something.... Then I noticed the numbers, though they had no name/ID other than the phone number, were already in my Blacklisted contacts. WTH?o_O

So I deleted the number out of the contact, added it back in and blocked it. Success has been hit/miss. I have seen no pattern to the numbers that "sneak through".

Looking for any thoughts / insight / suggestions / etc....
