[Electronics-Talk] nice ios innovation!

There may be an easier way, but that is the one I know of too.

Sounds rather nifty but, aren't you going through extra work, creating a contact, only to block it? Are you creating a contact because you can't block the number without doing so? I guess I don't quite understand.

  I only discovered this one because I had occassion to block phone numbers.
  My procedure for blocking phone numbers works well for me in that I get
  the number that called and add it to my contacts and put the name
  Advertiser in the company name field, then I move down to block number and
  hit that to have that contact blocked.  Advertiser is lots easier to put
  in as a name than anything the scammers on the other end can think up to
  confuse matters.  What I wrote so far is just background.  In earlier
  versions of ios, when a call like that came in the advertiser could leave
  voicemail.  With the current ios running though, any call from a blocked
  number that leaves voicemail now just gets put in the blocked voicemails
  folder.  When you open the blocked voicemails folder you'll see a count of
  blocked messages and now at the top right of the screen there is a delete
  all blocked voicemail.  If you hit that button, those voicemails get put
  into your deleted folder.  This next thing I'm going to guess on.  I think
  deleted mail folder may now have a different behavior in that blocked
  voicemail messages that get put into deleted folder may be automatically
  cleared from deleted folder.  I'll find out when next I get a voicemail
  message I listen and then delete.  If it's the only one in the deleted
  folder my guess will have been correct otherwise it won't be that much
  effort to just clear all deleted messages.
