If a number is blocked in WhatsApp, can I call the subscriber - briefly?
If you have been blocked by someone on WhatsApp, you will not be able to call that person. The block prevents any form of contact from your number, including calls and messages.
If a number is blocked in WhatsApp, can I call the subscriber - in detail?
When a number is blocked on WhatsApp, several implications arise regarding your ability to contact that user via other means such as voice calls.
Firstly, it's important to understand that blocking someone on WhatsApp affects only the messaging functionality of the app. This means you will not be able to send messages or view the profile picture, status updates, and other shared media of the person who blocked you. However, this block does not extend to voice or video calls made through WhatsApp.
If a number is blocked in WhatsApp but you still have their phone number saved on your device, you can attempt to call them using the standard phone dialer app on your smartphone. This call will go through the traditional cellular network rather than relying on internet connectivity as with WhatsApp calls. Therefore, even if the user has blocked you on WhatsApp, they cannot block a conventional voice call from their phone's carrier network without additional measures such as blocking the number through their mobile service provider or using specific settings on their device to prevent unknown numbers from calling.
To summarize, while being blocked on WhatsApp restricts your messaging capabilities, it does not impede your ability to make a standard voice call to that subscriber's phone number. The call will be routed through the traditional cellular network, bypassing any restrictions imposed by WhatsApp.
