Q&A for How to Call a Person That Has Blocked Your Number

Yes, you can. The number will still be blocked, even if you delete the person from your contacts.

You could talk to them, if you know them in real life, or you could use one of the methods above to ask.

Email them at that email address.

Yes. However, simply blocking someone's number just impedes voice calls.

Not unless they have direct access to your phone.

They can erase sent text messages to you on their phone, however that does not erase your copy of those messages on your phone.

Go to settings, then phone, then your display number and you'll see the option to change it or turn it off there.

You cannot. That person has shut off all communication from your number through their phone.

No, it will not. You must use that each and every time preceding the call to block your number.

You may have to make a new account. WhatsApp is different than the phone. So, make a new account (don't use your real name of course) and call them (make sure to write down their phone number somewhere first). Remember, they might be able to take legal action against you.

In most cases, you can't unless you find that person and ask them directly.

It definitely hides your number; I have done this to call someone who blocked my phone.

You cannot. If you have an iPhone, and you know for sure that the person whom blocked you has an iPhone, and it sends in green, that means they blocked you. If it sends in blue, they have unblocked you.

You can't.

You will not be able to speak with them directly, and you will not be able to send text messages or leave voicemails.

You block text messages by going to a contact and hitting the "i" that is circled on the top right. Then scroll down and hit "block caller."

You often can't, depending on what service or platform they've blocked you on. It's best to just ask the person next time you see them if they've blocked you.

Ask a mutual friend of yours for the number, make a new contact and unblock the person you had blocked.

Yes. Once you block a number, that number is forever blocked until you get a new number, or you unblock it.

Go to their contact info and tap, "unblock this person." That should work.

Yes. If video calling is supported on your platform (if you can see the video call button while you are on the phone with someone) then your video calls are blocked, too, because they are facilitated by the network provider between the two phones.

Try another one of the methods listed above, or buy a burner phone. Be careful not to go overboard, because there are legal consequences; the person may file a restraining order, or you may be charged with harassment.

Chances are you blocked them by accident. Go to your settings and find something along the lines of "Privacy" or "Security." There should be an option to see "Blocked callers" or "Block list" or something like that. From there, click "Edit," or "Remove numbers," or something along those lines. Then simply remove your friend's number, and you should be fine.

For iPhone (iOS 12), no, you can’t block individual applications (or contact methods). You can only block phone numbers by adding them to Blocked Contacts. When adding someone to your Blocked Contacts, iPhone only allows you to choose from your Contacts list. Once you select a contact, all phone numbers you have entered under that person will be added to your Blocked Contacts. Other contact information, like emails, cannot be blocked. However, you do have the option of removing individual phone numbers from the Blocked Contacts list by clicking Edit.

The only way I'm aware of is to only allow calls from phone numbers that are in your contacts. There are a number of free apps that will do that.

They cannot, they're blocks for a good reason. You can just use the methods above to contact that person. And think hard about whether it's worth the effort; they blocked you for a good reason.

No. If you blocked the number, you can no longer send or receive texts from that number.

Accessing someone's phone without their permission can lead to serious felonious hacker charges, in the United States. It is also a breach of trust morally and when they find out, and invariably they will, you'll have a lot of explaining to do.

The only way from any phone is to dial *67 before the number you're calling.

There's no way other than persuading the person who blocked you to remove it, so you'll have to find a way to undo the cause of why you got blocked in the first place. However, the person who blocked you is under no obligation to forgive or unblock you; we all have the right to refuse contact with anybody.
