Maybe miss understanding, but can't you just tap on recents, tap i with a circle and then tap block caller.

That won't work, because there's no number shown to block.

Correct. Maybe I need to go into my provider services and pay an extra 5 a month to block unknown calls. I figured there would be as app for that however.

No, but you could find out what that unknown number is next time it calls you if you use TrapCall and then you have a number to block.

I remember there being a phone option, maybe not on the iPhone, where you could prevent from unknown numbers getting through...or private numbers.

At $5/month, that's a pretty steep fee for this "service".

If it was that annoying as the OP suggests, I'd pay $20 just once to find out what the number is so I can block it then just cancel. I've spent money on sillier things like in-app purchases.

Back in my BlackBerry days I remember an app that I used to block unknown and private calls. I just can't remember the name of it.

I was a longtime blackberry user( actually still am.....) so it's safe to say that on the blackberry ( 7 OS) there was such an app.
