You can call your service provider to block the number for you. Or you can directly block the number on your iPhone. Navigate to Settings>Phone>Call Blocking & Identifications and add the number to the block list. Here's a more detailed guide on that: How to Block Numbers on iPhone and Find Blocked Numbers on iPhone

It actually depends on the firmware from your provider but...
bring up the call log. Tap on the Info icon on the right hand side of the number you want to block. That should bring up the menu of options of what to do with the number; one of the options will be to "block this number"

SOURCE: my apple iphone cell phone are locked fore pass code

shut the phone off completely. then when you reboot try holding it's either your camera button then pressing and holding the pwr button as it boots until it takes you into download mode, in which you can do a master reset, but you'll lose everything on your phone... if that doesn't work try the same procedure but with pwr and vol down.

How can I block a text message sender in iphone 6 ?

There are different methods to block text message sender on iPhone. I will show you one of them. Just follow the steps as below.

This works really well for blocking phone number on iPhone, like phone numbers from some unknown spammers, advertising companies and internet marketers bothering you with promotions and offers for products that are not at all related to your interest. These steps will block only those unknown callers that you choose to block. The detailed steps are as follows:
1. Go to the Messages app.
2. Tap on the target message from the spammer.
3. Choose "Details" on the top right hand corner and tap on it.
4. There will be phone icon and a letter "i" icon across from the number. Tap on the "i" icon.

5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and then tap on "Block Contact".

Note: Once you press on Block Contact, the phone number that you just blocked won't be able to make phone calls, send text messages, or Facetime you.

I want to stop unknown numbers calling my iphone5

Go to recent calls, then info on that call. Use the copy feature on "Unknown Caller". Then go to Contacts, touch + to add a new contact. Use the paste feature for the following: first name, last name, company, phone number. Touch done and you will see an option to block caller. Then in Settings you can go to your Phone, Blocked, and you should see it listed alphabetically with any others you may have. I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.6. Good luck

Too stop unknown numbers calling free

Unknown callers should have a number that appears with no name - these can be blocked post call or in the Settings/Phone/Blocked Callers section. Unknown calls with no number can only be blocked from the carrier side - you would have to contact your provider.

HOW TO BLOCK CALL ON IPHONE

Need to block a specific phone number from calling or texting your iPhone? It could be telemarketers, spam text messages, or that crank that won't stop calling and messaging. Apple's iOS does not have a built-in feature to block a phone number, but there are other solutions.

1. Your carrier might be able to block individual numbers. AT&T has an optional feature called Smart Limits for Wireless that runs $4.99 per month. One of the many functions is the capability to block up to 30 numbers from calling or texting your iPhone.

Verizon Wireless offers Spam Control for no additional charge. This feature can be found under My Services when logged into your account, and blocks up to 5 numbers from calling or texting.

2. Owners of jailbroken iPhones can install apps from the Cydia Store that will block phone numbers.iBlacklist is fully compatible with all iOS devices, iOS 5 and older firmware. For a one-time cost of $12, iBlacklist adds a plethora of useful features to your iPhone including the ability to block calls and texts from individual numbers.

MobileLog is currently in development and will be offered for sale to jailbroken iPhone owners soon. The app will also provide many enhancements to the stock calling app as well as number blocking.

3. Make sure you've registered your iPhone number with the National Do Not Call Registry. This will not stop texts, but it will require most telemarketers to stop calling your line within 31 days. Complaints can also be filed using the same website, and phone number registrations with the service never expire.

4. Assign a silent ringtone to the numbers you don't want to answer. This stops calls from bothering you, but texts will still sound an alert.

5. Another calling only solution are services such as TrapCall, which has plans starting at $4.95 per month. No iPhone app installation is required, and once you're signed up TrapCall will unmask blocked caller IDs and blacklist unwanted callers. More expensive plans can be purchased that offer more in-depth functions.
