Getting calls from blocked number

Hey there,


If a blocked number is still able to call you, you'll want to make sure that the number you have saved in the blocked list is an exact match for the number appearing in your call log. For example, if in your call log the number includes the country code (+1 -xxx-xxx-xxxx) you'll want to make sure the number is saved to the blocked list in that same exact format.


Check to see if you have any 3rd party call blocking or filtering applications currently installed on the device which may be affecting the built in call blocking. Go to Settings > Phone, and see if you have an option for Call Blocking & Identification. If you do, select it and see what application is installed. Then try removing that application and see if the blocked phone number is still able to get through.


You'll also want to make sure you've covered the basics of restarting the device and making sure it's up to date.
