Hi there! 

 

Is your mother's number the only one that gets blocked?

    T-Speed has the fix. There is a glitch in your contacts on your phone. Remove her contact entirely and create it again.

     

    [Edit] Disregard the above. I didn't scroll down to see your other messages.

    No it isn't. My home landline also gets auto-blocked.

      I didn't realize others were being blocked until I was just asked and checked. Haven't been getting many phone calls the past week as my brothers have been out of town.

        Did a bit more research and discovered my phone has an option called "Call Barring" but when I press on it to view the options, it searches for a bit then gives me the following error: "Failed to read data. Something went wrong. Check your SIM card or network connection, then try again."
