Is it possible to block a number so they don't call?
Have you ever become a victim of a collection agency? It's good if not! Just imagine, one day, unfamiliar numbers appeared on the display of your mobile phone. After saying a hesitant “Hello,” at the other end of the phone you will hear a story about how your relative or even just the former owner of the number owed a large amount on a loan. Such companies will immediately offer to pay off the debt, but after your polite refusal they will call constantly. There is only one way out - to prohibit the subscriber from making calls and get rid of unnecessary spam.

When is the function of barring incoming calls from hidden numbers useful?
It is logical to assume that most often the number hiding service is used by subscribers who have reasons to hide it. These could be taxi services, which often call from GSM gateways because they do not want the gateway number to be called back, and representatives of various other companies. Sometimes, even your friends can call you from a hidden number in order to intrigue or prank you. However, such techniques are often also used by debt collectors, scammers and other unpleasant individuals.
From my experience I can say this: the number hiding service was most often used by people with whom few people want to communicate. As a rule, calls from such people are not answered, and their phone numbers are blacklisted. Therefore, this is one of their methods to get through to someone who doesn’t really want to talk to you.
And the function of barring calls from unknown subscribers actually adds a hidden number to the black list.
