Thanks but does not work without a known number as it says Private.

In that case I do not think you can block it. It might be worth your while to have a look at the Geek Zone forum for your service provider www.geekzone.co.nz

Chances are that will block ALL private numbers though. (?)

Or when you see a incoming call & it doesnt show the caller ID, just manually push the red button & hang up rather than answer.

On my Galaxy A5 it looks as though that setting blocks all unknown numbers. ie. If the number is not already in your contact list it will be blocked.

1449630 2018-05-19 01:38:00 Try a android App, some allow to add numbers (e.g. 0800's)/wildcards to block; Some apps have databases of known telemarketers, ranked user generated reviews to block from certain calls, etc... kahawai chaser (3545)
1449631 2018-05-23 00:50:00 There's no way to block a specific private number because you don't know what it is. You can only block all of them (or none of them) as already suggested.

If there's a serious problem with privacy or personal security you could go to your provider and they may be able to help, but in that case you'd probably be better off getting a new number and only giving it out to people you know.
