Some phones have a built in option to block specific numbers.

If not then there is likely an app that can do this.

What make and model of phone do you have?

Hope this helps.

I get constant prank calls at all times of the days and night, some it s for tax evasion, some for hitting their car. I usually just throw **bleep** back at them until they say after about 5 mins of them constantly talking thats someones playing a trick on me. Its always from a private number and its getting really annoying and tiring. Is there an app that can bypass private numbers being held? Or a way to ge the number permanently blocked so i don't recieve it again??
