Go to the call log and long press on the number you want to block, then select add to reject list. Do the same in the message app to block texts as well.

Try going to the message app and press Menu >Settings >Block List (look for similar words as it does vary between firmwares).

If you have a Samsung Galaxy S7, the procedure for this is different, as I have just found out. It's a case of "RTFM!", if anyone knows what that means!
Open the Phone app, click MORE, Settings, Block list. You can then enter a number manually, or click the LOG button to go to the call log, and select the offending number. Save by clicking on '+' (don't forget this, or it will all have been a frustrating waste of time).

Call blocked.

Firmwares are being constantly updated so indeed, it does pay, to read the manual
