Unusual notification when calling phone

If you call them 2 or 3 times a day and receive the same notification, it is likely that your phone number has been blocked.

The content of the notification may vary depending on the network, specifically: “The person you are calling is currently unavailable,” “The person you are calling is not accepting calls,” “The number you are calling is temporarily out of service.”

In the case that your friends are traveling abroad or the mobile network infrastructure in their area is experiencing issues, you will receive the notification: “All networks are busy.”

Number of rings

If you only hear one ring or no ring at all before the call is directed to the voicemail, it is likely that your phone number has been blocked.

In the case that you hear 3 to 5 rings before the call is directed to the voicemail, it is possible that you have not been blocked, but the person is rejecting or ignoring your calls.

Note that if the person you are calling has the Do Not Disturb feature enabled, your call and other calls will be quickly directed to the voicemail. You will also receive the same result when their phone is low on battery or turned off.

Busy or quick disconnection signal

If you receive a busy signal before the call is disconnected, it is likely that your number has been blocked by the mobile service provider.

Although you cannot do anything to remove your number from their block list or the network’s block list, you can still send text messages, directly communicate with them via Facebook, email… to ask for the reason.
