Identifying a blocked number can be tricky. A clear sign is if calls go straight to voicemail without ringing or if you always get a single ring followed by a quick redirect to voicemail. Text messages might show as 'delivered,' but never read. If this happens consistently with a particular contact, chances are your number is blocked.
