Question

Force Call on iPhone 4S software blocker

Feb 12, 2015 8:12AM PST

Hello, i would like to know if it possible to bypass caller blocking software installed on iPhone 4S. Meaning, i don't want to call with "Unknown number" option, but normally without hiding my phone number. However, my phone number is blocked by the individual by a 3rd party device and refers to a busy line for the moment. Is it possible to "force call" without hiding my number? Messages deliver fine by the way.

Thanks in advance,

to "force" a call on someone who has blocked you. Sounds suspicious to me.

You would probably have to find out what the 3rd party device was first. Not sure that you could force the call through though.

......there is probably a reason for it, they don't want to talk to you. Don't try to force the issue.
