I am unable to receive a call from a company providing care for a relative.  Their calls are directed to voicemail & are showing as blocked in the call list.  However when I go to my blocked numbers it is not showing - therefore the phone is somehow blocking it.  How do I unblock???  I have checked with mobile provider & they say they are not doing it...

@sally0405: Please can you try heading to the Phone app > Tap the 3 dots in the top right > Settings > Block numbers > Block unknown/private numbers, and disable this option to see if this helps? Furthermore, select Caller ID and spam protection > Block spam and scam calls, and select 'Only block high risk scam calls' if you have this feature enabled, or disable it completely. Let me know how you get on.

In the phone app, click settings 3 dots top right, then you should see blocked numbers and spam options.

Depends what mobile or version software also.
