Have you been blocked by someone, and you’re trying to figure out how to call them? Whether you’re trying to reconnect, sort out a misunderstanding, or simply reach someone who doesn’t want to take your calls, this guide from NaijaKnowHow will show you how to call a number that blocked you in Nigeria.

3 Easy Ways to Call Someone Who Blocked You1. Change Your Caller IDOn iPhone:On Android:2. Use the #31# Code3. Use Another Line or PhoneConclusion

Note: This is completely different from being unable to make calls because your MTN, Airtel, GLO, or 9mobile line was blocked due to NIN issues. We’re talking about getting blocked by a person, not your network provider.

If someone intentionally blocked your number, don’t worry; there are a few methods you can try. This article breaks down the best and easiest ways to bypass the block and get your call through, even if it was blocked through a call blocker app.

3 Easy Ways to Call Someone Who Blocked You

1. Change Your Caller ID

call a number that blocked you

This trick hides your phone number so that it shows up as “Unknown” or “Private Number” when you make a call. It works well on many devices, though some phones or carriers might not support it.

On iPhone:

  • Go to Settings
  • Tap Phone
  • Select Show My Caller ID
  • Toggle it off

On Android:

  • Open the Phone app
  • Tap the three-dot menu or Settings
  • Go to Call Settings > Additional Settings > Caller ID
  • Choose Hide Number

Once done, your number will be hidden. If the person you’re trying to reach has blocked your number specifically, the call should now go through.

2. Use the #31# Code

This is one of the most common tricks used in Nigeria to hide your phone number before calling someone.

How to use:

  • Dial #31# before the number you’re trying to call.
  • For example: #31#07012345678

This code hides your number just for that particular call, so you can always turn it off later.

3. Use Another Line or Phone

Second Line

If the other two options fail, you can simply call from a second phone number.

  • Use a friend’s phone to call.
  • Use another SIM card if you have one.
  • Try using a virtual phone number or second-line app like TextNow, 2ndLine, or Dingtone.

This method ensures your call goes through without being recognised as the blocked number.

Conclusion

Being blocked can be frustrating, but it’s not the end of the road if you really need to reach someone. Whether you decide to hide your number, use a dial code, or call from a second line, these simple tricks can help you reconnect.

Tip: If you’re facing the same issue on WhatsApp, here’s how to unblock yourself on WhatsApp using a few clever tricks.
