If you're blocked by a mobile, if you withhold your number can you get through?

Minorityreports · 20/10/2019 16:40

I have all withheld numbers blocked in my phone as well as a few individual numbers.

They don't get through.

Minorityreports · 20/10/2019 16:43

I just really need to get through to someone but I'm blocked.

Yes you can. My friends ex husband blocked her (she was checking he was picking the children up because he had form for 'forgetting') so she hid her number and in rang

Lucked · 20/10/2019 16:44

Ask a third party to contact them?

BritishHorrorStory · 20/10/2019 16:46

Yes you can. If you have an iPhone, just go to settings and turn off ‘show caller ID’

Minorityreports · 20/10/2019 16:48

Hidden ID, still blocked. Have no-one to ask to call on my behalf!

Call from a landline?
Phone box?
Buy a cheap sim and put that in your phone?

Minorityreports · 20/10/2019 16:52

Not near a landline/phonebox/phone shop

They have blocked you for a reason OP.
You should accept that.

Minorityreports · 20/10/2019 16:54

Have asked a random friend. I'm sure he thinks it sounds shady lol

OP posts:
Minorityreports · 20/10/2019 16:54

They blocked me and then texted me to call them except I cant

OP posts:
FreckledLeopard · 20/10/2019 16:55

If they have WhatsApp then you can get through on that if they haven't also blocked you there

PennysPocket · 20/10/2019 16:55

Surely they must have unblocked you to text you in the first place and then blocked you again?

Happinessforever · 20/10/2019 16:56

Why did they block you?

Seems very very odd.

Minorityreports · 20/10/2019 16:58

He's my NOK and after calling emergency services all my blocked numbers become unblocked (Samsung), so he texted me as the hospital called him telling me to call him except I can't as I'm still bloody blocked!
Never updated NOK as didn't think I'd need to!

DioneTheDiabolist · 20/10/2019 17:00

Have you called your new NOK?

Minorityreports · 20/10/2019 17:00

No, the hospital didn't tell me to call him, he did, in a text. Sorry, not making much sense am I?

OP posts:
PennysPocket · 20/10/2019 17:00

That doesn't explain why that person blocked your number?

Minorityreports · 20/10/2019 17:01

I have - but he's a bit far away in Canada and I kinda needed to talk to this guy (ex)
