If the phone rings numerous times, but goes to voicemail, that may mean the phone number is still in service. If the number is not in service, when you call it may ring once or twice but you will then get an automated message. This message will state that the number is no longer in service, or something similar. Accordingly, how do you know if someone's phone is disconnected?
Try to call it from an active phone if it is disconnected you will hear a message stating that. Or send a text message to it from an active cell phone and see if it goes threw if it does but you do not receive it your phone is disconnected or if it doesn't go threw at all its disconnected.
Furthermore, what happens when you call number that blocked you? If an Android user has blocked you, Lavelle says, “your text messages will go through as usual; they just won't be delivered to the Android user.” It's the same as an iPhone, but without the “delivered” notification (or lack thereof) to clue you in.
Similarly, you may ask, what happens when you text a number that is no longer in service?
If the recipient changed their number, you can keep sending messages to the old number, but they will not be received by the same person. When a number is disconnected, the telephone company will typically keep the number out of service for 90 days before making it available for re-use (this may vary between carriers.)
Will a blocked text say delivered?
Android phones don't have that “delivered” message on texting, and even an iPhone user won't see the “delivered” notification while texting an Android user. “The simplest way to tell if you have been blocked by an Android user is to call,” Lavelle says.
