Preliminary information

Before getting to the heart of the tutorial, then before answering the question “how can I call a number that has blocked me?”, going to explain how to carry out the operation in question, there is some preliminary information that it seems necessary to provide you.

First, I want to explain how to try to recognize a phone number that has blocked you. Starting from the assumption that the most absolute certainty of the thing cannot be given to you by anyone but the same person who, in fact, would have committed the “crime”, there are some “signals” that can allow you to take this hypothesis seriously, namely: the phone number you are trying to call rings only once, but then the call is disconnected or the answering machine is triggered; the phone number you are trying to call is always busy, at any time of day or night.

The above cases occur because some phone apps and/or services divert blocked phone numbers to voicemail. Consequently, as you can deduce yourself, what is described in the previous lines and yes what generally happens when trying to call a blocked number, but it is also what happens when, for various other reasons, the forwarding of call, when a do not disturb feature is enabled, when the receiver’s phone is turned off, etc.

What you can then do is hypothesize that, based on the occurrence of one of the conditions described above for a medium to long period of time, your number may have been blocked by the person you are trying to get in touch with, but not you can be 100% sure… worth a potential bad figure!

However, keep in mind that blocking the phone number is not an irreversible condition and that it can be canceled at any time. To make this happen you need direct intervention from the person who blocked you, as I explained to you in detail in my tutorial on how to unblock a blocked number.

How can I call a contact who has blocked me

Understanding what are the signs that can help you understand if someone has really blocked your phone number or not, let’s now find out how you can call a number that has blocked you. You will find everything explained below, whether you are using an Android smartphone, an iPhone (iOS), or a landline phone it makes no difference, it is feasible in all cases.

Essentially, keep in mind that to succeed in the enterprise just hide the caller ID (in a nutshell, you have to call anonymously) and that’s it. In this way, the telephone of the person to be called will not be able to detect your number (the call you made will not be accompanied by your number but by wording such as Private number or Unknown ) and, consequently, will not be not even able to filter it and treat it as a blocked number.

From Android

If you are using an Android smartphone and you are wondering “how can I call a number that has blocked me?”, Then, to begin with, grab your device, unlock it (if necessary), access the home screen and/or the drawer and start the dialer (the numeric keypad) by tapping on the relevant icon (usually the one with the telephone handset lifted ).

In the new screen that you now see, tap on the Menu button (usually it is the one with the three dots ) located at the top and on the Settings item. Next, go to the Calls / Other section and then in the Other settings section, tap on the wording Caller ID and choose the Hide number option. Done!

Now, try to call the phone number of the person you think has blocked you, by dialing it on the numeric keypad or by selecting the relevant contact from the address book, which you can access by selecting the appropriate item in the current screen or by pressing on the application icon (in usually the one with the phone book ) located on the home screen and/or in the drawer. If your guesses were correct, you will finally hear the classic free phone signal and hopefully, you will also get an answer.

Then remember to deactivate the option to hide the number when you no longer need it. To do this, access the dialer again, press the Menu button, go to the Settings> Calls / More> Other Settings> Android caller ID section and select the Show number option.

As an alternative to the procedure I have already explained to you, you can temporarily disable the display of the caller ID by accessing the Android numeric keypad and typing the phone number of the person you want to call preceded by the code # 31 # (e.g. # 31 # 1234567890 if you want to call the number 1234567890 ). Then press the key to start the phone call (usually it is the one with the green handset lifted ).

Note: considering that there are several versions of Android in circulation, that smartphone manufacturers often apply customizations to the operating system and that I do not know exactly the brand and model of the device you use, the information I have given you in this step could be slightly different for your mobile.

From iPhone

If you are wondering “how can I call a number that has blocked me?” and the one in your possession is an iPhone, you must proceed as follows: grab your device, unlock it (if necessary) and select the Settings icon (the one in the shape of a gear wheel ) that you find on the home screen and/or in the iOS App Library.

In the new screen that you will now see, select the wording Phone, then that Show Caller ID and move the lever next to Show Caller ID to OFF.

Then try to call the number of the person you think has blocked you, by accessing the dialer (the numeric keypad), selecting the Phone app icon (the one with the telephone handset and the green background ) present on the home screen and/or in the App library and tapping on the Keypad item located at the bottom, or taking it directly from the contact list, which you can access by selecting the Contacts item at the bottom of the current screen or by selecting the Contacts app icon (the one with the phone book). If, once the call has started, you will hear the free phone signal, most likely your numbering was really blocked and in this way you should finally be able to get in touch with the contact person.

Next, remember to activate the function again to show the caller ID, by going to the Settings> Phone> Show iOS caller ID section and moving the lever next to Show Caller ID to ON.

In addition to how I indicated earlier, you can temporarily disable your caller ID by accessing the iOS numeric keypad and dialing the phone number of the person you want to call preceded by the code # 31 # (e.g. # 31 # 1234567890 if you want to call number 1234567890 ). Then start the call by pressing the button with the green handset lifted at the bottom.

From landline phone

Let’s see, now, how to act as a landline to call a number that has blocked your telephone contact. In this case, the procedure to be implemented differs slightly depending on the type of phone you have.

If what you are using is a telephone with a display and configuration menu (such as cordless phones usually are), you can disable the function that shows the caller ID by accessing the settings menu of the device and acting on the options. related to anonymous calls.

To give a practical example, on the Gigaset C530 cordless phone you can make a call by hiding the caller ID only for the current call, by pressing the right symbol of the central button, selecting the OK key, choosing the option Next anonymous, pressing OK, typing the reference phone number and finally choosing Select.

Then try to call the number of the person you think has blocked you, by dialing the number on the telephone numeric keypad or selecting the contact from the phone book of the device, then wait for the call to be initiated or take care of yourself, lifting the telephone handset or pressing the special key (usually the one with the telephone handset up ). If after the call has started you will hear the free phone signal, most likely your numbering was actually blocked and in this way you may finally be able to contact the person of your interest.

As an alternative to how I just explained to you or if you have an “old-fashioned” phone, which does not have the above features, you can try calling a phone number that you think has blocked you by putting a special code before it. , that is: * 67 # for TIM, WINDTRE and Fastweb and # 31 # for Vodafone.

Another system you have on your side to call anonymously from a landline and, therefore, to contact a number that has blocked you is to ask the reference telephone operator directly to hide your account when you call from a landline. To do this, contact the customer service of your operator, proceeding as I explained in my specific guides on what to do relating to TIM, Vodafone, WINDTRE and Fastweb, and ask for the necessary instructions to remove your contact number from the telephone directory. public.

How can I call a number that has blocked anonymous calls

The situation tends to get complicated if you need to call a number that has blocked anonymous calls and which presumably has blocked your numbering as well. The thing is feasible, but the chances of succeeding in the enterprise are reduced more.

In this case, in fact, a first way that you can take is to try to use another clear number and that perhaps the person to contact does not already know or that in any case does not lead back to your person (so to speak, if you are trying to call a friend with the phone number of your parents, it is not excluded that this may have also blocked the contacts in question, by mere association).

Another way to try to call a number that has theoretically blocked both anonymous calls and your number is to try to make a VoIP call via messaging services, such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Skype, as I explained to you in mine. guides on the subject. In this case, the call should be successful, as long as the person you are trying to call has an active Internet connection on their device and has not applied a block to your number even in this circumstance.
