Is it possible to block unknown numbers on the iPhone?
I had an issue with calls for a while and a few weeks ago I did what you suggested and signed up to TPS and since then the marketing calls (with numbers coming up) have stopped. (YAY!!!) 
However since then I have noticed a lot of random unknown number calls. I don't tend to answer unknown/blocked numbers but on the occasions that I have, it's been an automated message - either about PPI or boiler installation or some other marketing.
I've browsed the community for answers and I can only seen to find suggestions for TPS. I can't really complain to TPS since it's unknown numbers and it could be different marketing companies. I've also browsed the Apple site for information but, to the best of my knowledge and the information that I have found, the iPhone can only block numbers which are known to you.
I don't tend to give my number out and when I sign up to things I always untick the option to receive marketing so it's really annoying that it still happens. I know that it happens to everyone so i'm just wondering how other people deal with it?
Is there any way that this can be stopped?

Good idea damien1 
It's good fun and if it's ppi or some other rubbish your not interested in I find they just put the phone done and don't ring again
