To determine if you are blocked or if their phone is off, try calling from another number. If it rings normally, you might be blocked. Alternatively, blocked calls typically go straight to voicemail or show a single ring before disconnecting. When a phone is off, you usually receive a standard voicemail greeting or a message indicating the phone is powered down.
