No, if your number has been blocked on an iPhone, any calls you attempt to make will not cause the recipient's phone to ring. Instead, the call will be diverted directly to voicemail. You might hear one ring before it goes to voicemail, but this doesn’t always mean you’re blocked; it can also happen if the recipient’s phone is set to Do Not Disturb, for example. Listening for the voicemail prompt immediately after one ring is a key indicator.
