Restricted / blocked phone number

Hi, I haven’t blocked a phone number and when I call it a voice tell me that “this is a restricted number for your phone”…I cannot unblock it because I haven’t got it in my list.

what can I do?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 18

The message you're seeing about the number being "restricted" could be related to a block or restriction placed by your carrier. Some carriers offer features that allow them to restrict or block certain numbers, and you might not have control over this through your phone's contacts or settings.


Call your carrier’s customer service and explain the issue. They should be able to check if the number is blocked or restricted on their end and lift the restriction if applicable.
