When a phone number is blocked, it means the number cannot be dialed from your phone. This can be due to a variety of reasons, including if you have a policy against receiving calls from that number, if the number is blocked on our network, or if the number is associated with a known spammer or other problematic caller. Blocked phone numbers are generally cleared within 90 days. If you have questions about why your number is blocked, please contact us.
