To block a number on a Kyocera flip phone, you can use the phone's built-in call settings menu or block the number directly from your call history. The exact menu path varies by model, but for the DuraXV Extreme+ the documented steps are to navigate through Menu, Settings & tools, Settings, Call settings, and then Call blocking.
How to block a number on Kyocera flip phone: The two documented built-in methods
Kyocera flip phones offer two primary ways to block unwanted calls using the phone's own software. The first method works through the main settings menu, while the second lets you block a number directly from your recent calls list. Both methods achieve the same result of preventing calls and messages from that number. For users looking for guidance on blocking calls and numbers on any phone, these built-in options are the most direct approach for Kyocera devices.
Blocking through the Call settings menu
For the Kyocera DuraXV Extreme+ specifically, the documented path to manage blocked numbers is:
- Press the Menu key.
- Select Settings & tools.
- Select Settings.
- Select Call settings.
- Select Call blocking.
Once inside the Call blocking menu, you can add numbers to the block list. Any calls from those numbers will be automatically rejected.
Blocking from the call history
You can also block a number directly from your recent calls without navigating through the main settings. This method is faster when the number you want to block has already called you.
- Open the Call history or Recents list from the home screen.
- Highlight the number you want to block.
- Press the Options key (usually the center select button or a dedicated soft key).
- Select Block number or Add to Blacklist.
The number is then added to your block list, and future calls from that number will be stopped.
For the DuraXV Extreme+, you can block from call history by highlighting the number, opening Options, and choosing Block number or Add to Blacklist.
On an iPhone, open Phone > Recents, tap the number or contact, scroll down and tap Block Caller; this also works in FaceTime, Messages, and Mail.
In the Google Phone app, open Phone app > More > Call history, tap a call from the number, tap Block / report spam.
What to do if your menu looks different
Kyocera menu paths vary significantly by model and software version. The steps above are documented for the DuraXV Extreme+ but may not match your specific phone exactly. If you cannot find "Call blocking" or "Call settings" in your menus, look for similar terms such as Call rejection, Blacklist, or Blocked numbers. These features are often located under the main Settings or Phone settings menu. If you still cannot locate the blocking feature, Kyocera offers remote support by phone at 1-800-349-4478. A support representative can walk you through the exact steps for your specific model.

Contacting your carrier to block a number
When the built-in blocking feature on your Kyocera flip phone is unavailable, insufficient, or you want to block a number at the network level, you can request call blocking through your mobile service provider. Most carriers offer network-wide blocking that stops calls before they ever reach your phone. To use this option, call your carrier's customer service line and provide the number you want blocked. Some carriers may charge a fee or require you to use a specific plan feature. This method is particularly useful if your Kyocera model does not include a built-in block list or if you want to block numbers that are harassing you across multiple devices on your account.
Google Fi blocking steps: Open the Google Fi app or website, in the Account tab go to Privacy & security, under Spam and contact settings select Block phone numbers, optionally enter the number and description, then select Block.
Google Voice blocking steps: Open the Voice app, tap Messages, Calls, or Voicemail; from a text, open it, tap More options > People & options > Block number > Block; from a call or voicemail, open it, tap More options > Block number > Block.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I block a number on any Kyocera flip phone?
Most Kyocera flip phones include some form of call blocking, but the feature is not universal across all models. The exact availability depends on the phone's software version and carrier customization. Check your phone's settings for terms like Call blocking, Blacklist, or Call rejection to see if the feature is present.
How do I unblock a number on my Kyocera flip phone?
To unblock a number, return to the same menu where you added the block (typically Call blocking or Blacklist under Call settings). Select the blocked number from the list and choose the option to remove or unblock it. After unblocking, calls and messages from that number will be allowed again.
On an iPhone, unblock via Settings > Privacy & Security > Blocked Contacts > Edit and delete the contact; iOS 26 also has an Unknown contacts edit path.
Will a blocked caller know they have been blocked?
No, the blocked caller will not receive any notification that they have been blocked. Their call will simply not go through, and they will typically hear a busy tone or a message that the call cannot be completed. The exact behavior may vary by carrier and phone model.
Is there a limit to how many numbers I can block?
The number of blocked numbers your Kyocera flip phone can store depends on the model and its software. Some models may have a limit, while others allow an unlimited number.
Can I block unknown or private numbers on my Kyocera flip phone?
Some Kyocera models include an option to block calls from unknown or private numbers, often found in the same Call blocking or Call settings menu. This setting stops calls that do not display a caller ID. Not all models support this feature, so check your phone's settings to see if the option is available.
In the Google Phone app, block unknown callers via Phone app > More > Settings > Blocked numbers > turn on Unknown (stops calls from private or unidentified numbers).
