Can someone tell that you have blocked their number? Blocking phone numbers is not uncommon these days. In addition to fraudulent numbers and scams, we sometimes unfortunately have to block people with whom we were once in regular contact. In this connection, the question arises as to whether the person in question has recognized that you have blocked him.

We will put you at ease right from the start. If you block someone, they most likely won't find out in the normal way. He will certainly not receive any notification about the blocking, but he can easily guess it. However, there are several ways a person can check if you've blocked them.

How to check if someone is blocking my number

If you're both on iPhones, your text communication is via iMessage, so your messages appear blue. The message is normally delivered as an iMessage, so it will appear blue and possibly display delivery information, meaning your number is not blocked. If blocked, the message will not appear as an iMessage and only a delivery message will appear. However, a delivery message can also mean that the person in question has simply not read the message yet. The fact that the message appears in green can also mean that he switched from an iPhone to a phone with a different operating system, or that he is just angry with the Internet connection.

Another option is to call. If you call someone and they don't have your number blocked, you will usually hear a few rings before they answer the call or the call goes to voicemail. When you call a number that has blocked you, you may hear one or half rings, or none at all, and then the call will go to voicemail. If the call goes straight to voicemail, the phone may also be turned off or out of range, or may have Do Not Disturb turned on temporarily, such as for work, driving, or sleep. If the person you blocked calls you on your number, they will go to voicemail and may leave a message, but you will not receive a missed call or message notification.

In conclusion, it can be stated that there are ways to check if someone is blocking your phone number. Even for what might appear to be unequivocal evidence of blocking, other explanations may apply, so even this evidence cannot be considered unequivocal.
