does anyone know if this actually blocks withheld, private or unknown numbers?

Yes it does, I use it and it's excellent. Stops all those dodgy calls!

ive got mine activated and set to contacts only, so does that mean only contacts can get through no other numbers or calls?

[Hardstyler]

well I have just received a call from a landline thats not saved in my contacts so doesnt work!

[Chris1973]

I use Mr Number and Truecaller one set to block all numbers apart from my contact list and the other to block all numbers starting with 0843 and 0333, just in case any calls get through the first.

Seems to work well, as I haven't had a ppi or non contact call for several months.

I believe that the blocker works via the 'Priority calls' feature. Press the volume button and you change the ringtone volume. Beneath that are the words none, priority, all. If you select priority, you should only receive the calls as per your blocking configuration. There is nothing to stop you from using priority mode all the time.

I pressed vol up and dowm when Blocking mode settings open and nothing happens other than my vol goes up and down!

It works for me, just ensure it's on the right settings.

Have you got the block incoming calls box ticked in the blocking mode options?

Yes and then in the allowed contacts section select your preference for all contacts or favourites. I tend to just have blocking mode active at night to mute notifications and favourite contacts can get through to me in emergency if necessary.
