Blocking someone on your phone typically doesn't affect emergency notifications.
Here's why and what you can do:
- Ideally, the person you blocked would understand and remove you from their emergency contact list. You can try politely requesting this.
- If the notifications are truly bullying and causing you distress, consider reporting them to the authorities.
- Reporting bullying is a serious step, but it's important to protect yourself.
- Contact your carrier's customer service.
- Explain the situation - you're receiving unwanted emergency notifications from a blocked number due to being listed as an emergency contact.
- Mention the bullying aspect if it applies.
While a carrier block might not be the solution for emergency notifications, they might have other suggestions or document the situation for your protection.
If the bullying is severe and the notifications are causing significant distress, changing your number might be the best course of action. However, if you can manage with the alternatives or there's a chance of resolving it with the person,consider those options first.
