blocked calls on iphone 4s

[Pinkpoison]

i just got a phone call on my 4s but when i went to answer it it said "blocked" does anyone know why some calls are blocked?

Some people block their number when they make calls. I guess they don't want people to get their number?

BTW, Hi!

Actually, if the caller ID information isn't received it will also say Blocked, which can happen if there's an issue with the cell signal as well. Is it all calls that cut off or just some of them?

If it's some, it's probably a signal issue, if it's all, that sounds more like a really weird hardware issue you may want to have looked at.

In the UK, any caller who dials 141 then the phone number comes through as blocked, even if they are in your contacts, if when you answer it, it drops and you don't connect, chances are its a multi call. This is when a computer dials 10 numbers and the first to answer gets through, the other 9 are just dropped on answering.......these calls can be traced and banned by BT

No i havent had any problems with other calls,just the one so i was curious,i always have five bars at home so no signal issue.
