Out of space to block calls

I get the message that I have no more space to block calls to delete some to make space and even though I delete several, I still get the same message and I cannot block any new calls. What do I do?

Use the call screening and mute unknown calls, and remove all of the blocks — except for blocks for people you know. Blocking numbers fundamentally doesn’t work for spammers, as the spammers switch numbers for each call.

If you really want to persist in blocking (MrHoffman is correct - it's a waste of time if you think it stops spam) then you are going to have to delete some blocked numbers. You can do it one at a time on the phone or in bulk on a Mac.
