How to Call Someone From a Blocked Phone Number?

Call blocking is a form of call screening that allows you to block both inbound and outbound calls from specific numbers. This feature helps stop bots, spam callers, telemarketers, and other unwanted numbers from reaching you. By blocking unwanted calls, you can increase productivity and reduce interruptions.
 

Call blocking is useful for both personal and professional use, ensuring that you only receive calls from desired contacts. It provides an added layer of security and peace of mind, allowing you to focus on more important tasks without being disturbed by unsolicited calls.

People block numbers for various reasons. They might not want to communicate, keep in touch, or engage with you in any way. Here are some signs that may indicate someone has blocked your phone number:
 

• No response: If you keep trying to reach someone, and they don't respond to the call, or after one ring, the number is not available, engaged, or busy. It might have been blocked.
• Voicemail after one ring: If your call goes to voicemail after just one ring, it could be because the number has been blocked.
• Automated messages and no ring: If the call ends quickly without ringing, and you hear an automated message, it means the number has been blocked.
• Call disconnect immediately:  If your call disconnects right away when you try to reach someone, it could indicate your number is blocked.
• Number not in service message: If you receive a notification stating that the number is not in service, it may mean that the person has blocked your number.

You can call someone who has blocked you number by hiding your caller ID, calling from multiple numbers, changing your number, or dialing *67 before the number.

Hiding caller ID is an effective method for calling someone who has blocked your number. By hiding your caller ID, the person you are calling will see "No Caller ID" instead of your phone number, allowing you to bypass the block. Follow the steps bellow to hide your caller ID on iPhone and Android devices:
 

On iPhone
 

1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
2. Click on the Phone section.
3. Tap and Show My Caller ID.
4. Tap on the green Switch to disable caller ID.
    

On Android
 

1. Open the Dialer App on your phone.
2. Click on the three-dot menu and go to the Settings option.
3. Tap Supplementary Services from the list of options.
4. Click Caller ID, and choose Hide number from the pop-up.
    

If your phone does not have a hidden caller ID option, you can use a different phone number to contact the person who blocked you. You can call from a friend’s or family member’s phone or even use a public phone. You can also use a landline number to make the call.

When you dial *67 before the phone number that has blocked you, it hides your phone number and the receiver’s phone displays your number as "Hidden," "Unknown Caller," or "Private Number”. It is one of the effective ways to call anonymously.
 

Note: This method is only applicable in the US and Canada.

If you want to call someone who blocked your number, try using the call masking feature provided by a VoIP service provider like Calilio. It helps you contact the blocked number by masking your phone number with another number.
 

Masking your phone number ensures that your real number stays hidden, allowing you to communicate without revealing your identity.

You can get a second phone number if you want to call someone who has blocked you. It is relatively easy to change your number; simply call your service provider and request a new number. You can consider a virtual phone number for a more secure calling experience. It allows you to make calls online with an Internet connection.
 

The person who blocked you cannot recognize your new number, and there is a high chance they will receive your call.
 

If you've been blocked and need to contact someone, you can try several strategies: leaving a voicemail to clear up misunderstandings, using alternative communication methods like email or social media, or employing a temporary number to make your call.
 

1. Leave a Voicemail: If you want to call someone who has blocked your number, you can leave a voicemail by clearing the misunderstanding and convincing them to unblock it.
   
   Callers have the option to leave a voicemail. Once the phone has rung, the voicemail message will play if you attempt to reach the blocked number.
    
2. Use alternative communication methods: You can use various communication methods, such as email, social media like Facebook and Instagram, and messaging apps like Telegram and WhatsApp, to communicate with the people who blocked your number.
    
3. Use a temporary number: To call someone who blocked you, you can use a temporary number or a disposable phone like a hushed or burner.

Reaching someone who has blocked your number can be challenging, but with the right approach, it is possible. Understanding the concept of call blocking and recognizing the signs can help you confirm if your number is blocked. Techniques such as hiding your caller ID, utilizing a different phone number, or leveraging VoIP services with call masking can provide ways to make contact.
 

Note: You must always respect the other person's privacy and consider bypassing call blocking carefully and professionally.
