Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Unfortunately it's not possible to do this without installing any 3rd party software. I know that Truecaller has this function if you want to use a 3rd party app.

Try to edit the specific contact(add the number to your contacts) and send them directly to voice mail.That is the only option.

Psss
Xperia is missing a major feature/option.
Hope this option comes in future updates.

Really? With a phone you can't block calls? Whose bright idea was this? How come that Samsung was able to create a Reject list? It's like I sell a car and if you want breaks, you can "download" them. Should I rely on 3rd party softwares?

Do you think they will explain their business decision of why they didn't add that major feature?

I am so sick of getting calls every day from India!  I can't block specific phone numbers?  I can't block "annonymous" phone numbers?  I'm sorry I upgraded from my old phone.  It's a good thing this one is water proof because when I am awakened every morning with high pressure salesmen I feel like throwing it in the toilet.

If it helps, I have created a Spam Caller entry in Contacts. As I receive spam calls, I add their phone number to my Spam Caller entry.  While I am in Edit Mode for this entry,  I have check the box next to All Calls to Voicemail. I also have chosen Silent Ring as the default ringtone for this entry. (I made this particular ringtone using Audacity.)

It's isn't as elegant as a block caller option, but I am not disturbed by these nuisance callers
