I’ve picked the “Contacts” option. There are 3 numbers in my contact list.

I’ve selected all of them.

The 3 numbers from the contacts list are added to the Blocked numbers folder.

Use the delete icon to unblock a number.

The 3rd option on the call blocking page is “Digit Filter”.

If you know the starting or ending digits of the spam calls/texts, you can use the digit filter to block these numbers.

Hit the + icon to add a digit filter.

 

You can add the starting or ending digits as shown above.
