iPhone 17: Blocked FaceTime calls, could they be routed?

2 Facetime calls were blocked due to restrictions. Both callers denied calling me. Could the calls be routed through my device?

No, your iPhone 17 cannot be used as a relay to secretly route or ghost-dial FaceTime calls from your number to others. If FaceTime calls show as blocked by restrictions, it is almost always due to local Screen Time settings, accidental pocket-dialing, or Apple's automated communication filters rather than device hijacking.
