YOGYAKARTA - Technology makes it easier for humans to connect and communicate. But, on the other hand, the easier it is to disconnect. The simplest way that someone can do when they don't want to be in touch with other people is to block the number.

You must have experienced it. When you want to call someone, who answers the voice of the machine. When trying to contact him again, the machine still answered, with more or less the same sentence. If different, just a little variation.

Based on that experience, you assume that the phone number has been blocked by the recipient. But, don't be presumptuous.

Maybe the caller can't receive it because there are some problems. For example, being in a location that is far from signal coverage or the phone has run out of battery.

Characteristics of Numbers Blocked by Others

You see, how to find out if someone has blocked our number cannot be done directly. You can conclude after meeting some characteristics. To help readers, the VOI team has summarized some of the characteristics that you can recognize.

Unusual Messages When You Try Phone

Actually, there is no standard message received by a blocked contact. And many people don't want to know when someone's number has been blocked.

It's just that, when you get an unusual message, one you've never heard of, chances are that the number is already blocked. The messages include:

The number you are dialing is not available The number you are dialing is busy The number you are dialing is out of network

When you get a message trying to call him for a few days, it means your number is most likely blocked.

Number of Call Rings

If you hear only one ringing of the call, or none at all, before your call is received by voicemail, this can be a strong indication that the number has been blocked. In this case, the contact you are calling uses the block feature on their phone.

If you call once a day for a few days but the result is still the same, then that could be strong evidence that your number has been blocked. On the other hand, if you hear three to four rings before your voicemail responds, it's likely that your number hasn't been blocked.

Connection Is Busy Then Disconnected

When you hear a message that the connection is busy, before finally ending the call, the number is most likely blocked by the provider. When you try for a few days but the results are still the same, it can be even stronger evidence.

It's just that, as a verification step, you can try contacting other contacts. When you receive the same message, the number you are using has been blocked by the provider. Not the contact you want to call.

Well, those are some ways to find out if your number is blocked by someone you can do. For the record, do not rush to conclusions. Try some of the steps above, so you get enough evidence of the characteristics of other people's blocked numbers.
