Missing block sub menu

[GuilermoRexach]

Hi... I'm a new user so please excuse my ignorance. I'm trying to block a phone number from my contacts list, but in settings, the block call selection does not appear. Am I missing something?

why are you trying to block someone from your contact list? if you do not want the person contacting you take them off of your contact list first.

Open the Phone app
Tap the clock icon, or select Recent Calls
Find the offending number
Tap on the offending number, but not near the phone or message icons
{a menu should appear}
Select Block Number
Answer the following question in the affirmative

Now, to be fair, this is how to block a number.
Unfortunately, it is often not really that easy. {It looks harder above than it really is.}

That is why there are apps to take care of this sort of thing.
Sure, Googe Play Store has its share of apps to do this {or at least claim to}, but I prefer open source apps for a number of reasons.

Simplicity and lack of ads are a big two of them.

If the above solution is not adequate, try BlackList Blocker.
It is what I use.
