I’m unable to phone a certain number in the UK - a hospital, yet everyone else I know can call it. Can I find out if they’ve blocked me?

Hi ​@sargonas99

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

If you are only experiencing the issue when calling one specific number, it is possible that the organisation has placed a restriction on incoming calls from your number. However, iD Mobile would not be able to confirm whether a third party has blocked your number.

 

To help identify the cause, please try the following:

  • Ensure the number has been entered correctly.
  • Try calling the number from another handset or mobile number.
  • Try calling with your caller ID withheld:
    • Dial 141 before the number (for example, 141 01XXX XXXXXX).
  • Restart your handset and try again.
  • Ensure your handset software is up to date.
