Phone is suddenly blocking a number on my contacts list. Says "Blocked number, Blocked by Phone".
I did not block the number, therefore it does not appear in settings>blocked numbers, so I can't unblock it from there.
Because it is in my contacts list, the option to report and mark it as not spam doesn't exist, clicking on the number, call, or contact, in any way just calls up the contact listing. So far, that is the only solution I see anyone offering, and it simply does not work in this situation. There is no option in the contact listing to mark as safe.
I have tried deleting the contact and making a new one, but that didn't work either.
I have tried blocking the contact and unblocking it and that also did not work.
Basically, what we need is an option on a blocked call to immediately call up a "mark number as safe" option. But that doesn't exist. Also, numbers on our contact list should be automatically marked as safe, unless we take action to block it. Why that isn't a feature is beyond me.
If you have a number in your call log that says blocked by phone, you can certainly tap on it, and report it as not spam. You may not have blocked the contact, but carriers are starting to block numbers that have been spoofed for spamming and have been placed on a universal block list.
To report a number in your call list as not spam, tap on the number and on the bottom of the call information screen is an option to block/unblock and the "more" menu. Tap more and select report. When the list comes up, mark as not spam.
