1. Block Calls with Do Not Disturb

Do Not Disturb is a feature that allows you to silence calls, alerts, and notifications that you get while your device is locked. That way you won't be distracted by those annoying notifications. Here's how to set it up.

Go to your phone "Settings".
Scroll Down and click on the "Do Not Disturb" option.
At the very top of the list, tap "Do Not Disturb" to turn it on. The toggle should turn green once you've enabled it. (there'll be a moon icon in the status bar)
While you're there, tap "Allow Calls From".
You'll see a list of options, at the bottom select "All Contacts". You should see a small check mark appear on the right side.

This would enable your iPhone to only ring when receiving calls from people on the address book and silence all unknown and no caller ID callers.

Another simple way to block those No Caller ID calls is by creating a new contact. Yes, you'll create a new contact on your iPhone and name it "No Caller ID", "No Number" or "Do Not Answer".

Go to "Contacts", tap the "+" sign at the top right corner. Enter000-000-0000 for the phone number. Next, open the phone app, find the new contact you just created and select it. Scroll down and tap "Block this caller".

A popup window will appear letting you know what happens when you block a contact. Tap Block Contact to confirm your decision.

Another way to do that is to go to your iPhone Settings. Tap "Phone", scroll down and tap "Blocked Contacts". You may see a list of blocked callers if you've already blocked people on your contact list before. Tap "Add New…", it will take you to your Contacts list so you can pick the annoying caller.
