Has someone blocked my phone number on their iPhone? I keep
ringing and texting but I can't get through. Is there any way to
tell who has blocked me?  Has your phone number been blocked by
an iPhone using the call-blocking feature introduced in iOS
7 and retained in iOS 8? In this article we explain the telltale
signs that you've been blocked by an iPhone: the way your phone
behaves as you (unsuccessfully) try to get through, what
response you'll get as you call, text and attempt to leave a
message, the giveaway number of rings before you're diverted to
voicemail and so on. We'll help you work out if someone has (for
whatever reason) blocked your number on their iPhone.  We've
also got links to articles that explain how to bypass the iOS
call block if you feel compelled to do so (although there are
serious ethical and potentially even legal implications that we
would ask you to consider - this is for emergency situations
only), and how to block nuisance numbers on your own iPhone.
