You can block phone numbers from unwanted callers on your Samsung Galaxy S10. You won’t receive text messages from blocked numbers, and phone calls will never ring, sending the number directly to voicemail.

Occasionally, you may want to unblock a phone number, either because the number was blocked in error or you no longer feel the need to block it. No matter the reason, you can do it with just a few taps.

6. In addition, you might be blocking all unknown callers, which includes any callers not in your contact list or anyone you haven't previously called. If you want to unblock unknown callers, swipe the button for "Block unknown callers" to the left.

After you unblock a number, that caller will be able to reach you in the usual ways - via text message and voice calls - but any text messages you missed while the number was blocked will not be received. You may need to ask that person to resend any important text messages.
