Some carriers also offer the ability to block inbound numbers at their network.
Contact your carrier for specifics.

When you block a number on your phone it doesn’t go away completely; it just gets sent to voicemail immediately. The phone has no way technically to block a number once it has arrived at your phone. To block completely it must be blocked by the carrier before it is sent to your phone.
And, as others have pointed out, if you have more than 3,000 blocked numbers new ones are ignored.

Check your blocked contacts again to see if it's there. Even if it is, remove the entry, then re-add it.

It is possible to cause the number that's displayed to be different than the one that's actually calling. That could result in what you're seeing.

Not sure if you understand that the number that you "see" is calling is not the real number that is calling. Spammers use special software that disguises the actual number that is calling you.
Sorry, but nothing you can do about that.

What version of iOS are you using? In iOS 26.6, Apple added a message that tells you when you have reached your blocked call limit, where previously you could still add a number beyond the limit but it would not work. That was a bug fixed in iOS 26.6.

You must not have blocked them then. Double check
