I don't have an iPhone but this option is available in my contacts menu.
I'm going to get their phone from them again shortly and do a more thorough "blocking".

if its a case of something someone bought from them and they say it didnt arrive or doesnt work.... just take it back or refund. anything to get rid of them. sometimes people are just nasty and really not worth wasting time on them. and that could be the cheaper option than a solictor.

hope they get it sorted.
Nasty is definitely the word I would use.

That's the plan. An appointment has been made. God that's expensive but will be worth it for this person.

That's what we had done which is why I am a bit baffled to be honest.
