AFAIK this is not possible for a working number. Failed dial tone and "text message not delivered" are handled on the carrier level, if you block a number then they'll just get a "busy" tone when calling and nothing when texting. You can't blanket reject everything while retaining data, unless you disconnect from cellular and only use WiFi.
Yet Another Call Blocker does block all calls, that is my phone never rings, and I never see any notification of a call.
That's doing that locally on your device, not on the carrier network. It's definitely a good solution for this problem though.
