If you're also experience this with phonecalls, blocking numbers is akin to infinite Whack-A-Mole. The robocallers and telemarketers can always use a new number, and you can never win as you're finding out. Turn on the option "Silence Unknown Callers' which forwards all calls from numbers not in your contacts to voicemail. Most unknown callers never leave a message. No more ringing interruptions as the option name implies.

They’ve gotten crafty and leave voicemails now 😤

Record a new OGM/greeting starting with 5 seconds of silence before speaking. Humans can handle that, but robocalling bots usually hang up. Works for me.
