"Not accepting calls" message received on call and then shown as cancelled call in history - meaning?

I recently dialed a number and got the message "This person is not accepting calls at this time" and on my recent call history it shows as a cancelled call. Does this mean my number was blocked by the person I called?

Hello curious_51!


While I don’t quite follow you in your post, I can tell you that if the calls always go straight to voicemail, there’s a good chance the person has blocked you. If they sometimes ring for a bit, then you are not blocked.


It can also mean he/she doesn’t have service. As you may be able to see, it is pretty difficult to figure out if one is blocked or not. Reach out to them by a different method if you can, and see what’s up. If you can’t, then I guess you’re out of luck.


I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

Cancel call identifier? I don’t know what that is. If you need further assistance with troubleshooting this issue, (if you believe that there is one,) consider reaching out to your Carrier and/or Apple Support:
