This is the most used method to know whether you are blocked by someone. To start the process just take your phone and call the person you suspect to block your number on their phone. During the call, you must check the ringing duration. Normally a phone ring goes to 5-15 rings. But if someone has blocked you the phone will ring once or will not ring at all and you will hear the default voice mails. Try this calling process a few more times and see if your every call is diverted to the voice mail after once or no ring. This is a strong indicator that you are blocked by that person.

WhatsApp Message
There are chances that the contact you are suspecting to block you, is also using WhatsApp. In that case, you can easily send them a WhatsApp message. After you send the message just try to check the checkmarks that shows the delivery of the message. Usually, when you send the message it shows one checkmark and when it’s delivered it shows double-check. And finally when it’s read by the person, it turns blue.

The next one that you can try is using your caller ID. In your call setting, you can switch off your caller ID. Then, with the hidden caller ID make a call to the same person and see what happens. In such a case if the phone rings normally without redirecting to the voicemail, you can get the idea for sure you are blocked.

You can also check by calling the person form a different number. You can use your family or friend’s phone to do this. If it rings normally without getting redirected or if the person receives the call, it confirms that your number is blocked on his/her phone.

If you don’t find the contact on WhatsApp, there are chances that you can get into contact with other social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and many more. Message them by using any of these social apps. If they don’t respond to you there also, it is quite sure that they have actually blocked you.
