How to unblock a blocked number on your desk phone
Also on the landline phone you can unblock a blocked number. The procedure can be carried out directly from the telephone in use (if the function is supported) or by contacting the customer service of the telephone operator of reference.
Further different steps must then be put into practice in the event that it is your intention to cancel the registration made in the past in the Public Register of Oppositions. In any case, do not worry: below you will find explained how to proceed in all cases.
Unblock a blocked number from your phone settings
If you have a landline phone with a menu of settings (such as a cordless phone can be), to unlock a blocked number you just need to access it, go to the section relating to management of phone calls, locate the section dedicated to Blacklists, select the numbers or names (if present in the phone book of the device) of your interest and call up the menu through which you can do it release.
For example, on cordless phones belonging to the range Gigaset, to unblock a number previously blacklisted, just press the button Do not disturb (I cheer with the manina) on the keypad, choose the item Black List from the menu on the display and confirm the selection by pressing in the center of the directional button on the dialer (the numeric keypad), by selecting Modification, Numbers blocked e poi dicitura Delete the entry. Afterwards, just select the number to unlock and press the button OK per confermare l'esecuzione dell'operazione.
Unblock a blocked number with your service provider
If, on the other hand, you have a landline phone that does not have a settings menu, you have most likely blocked a given number in the past by contacting customer care of telephone operator of your line. Therefore, to carry out the reverse operation, or to unblock a given number, you will have to, even in this case, make an explicit request for this to your fixed network operator.
If you don't know how to get in touch with your operator's customer service, you can consult my guides on the subject - the ones you find below - to find out how to proceed.
- If your carrier is TIM, read my article on how I can talk to a TIM operator.
- If your carrier is Vodafone, read my article on how to talk to a Vodafone operator.
- If your operator is Fastweb, read my article on how to talk to Fastweb operator.
- If your carrier is Infostrada, read my article on how to talk to Wind operator.
Once in contact with customer service, ask explicitly for it “remote” deactivation of call blocking applied to specific numbers (which you will need to indicate).
Keep in mind that, since unlike what is possible to do by acting from the phone settings, the number blocking service in these cases can be paid and can involve the use of the answering machine, going to unblock one or more numbers previously included in the black list you may no longer have to pay the cost of the service (if you actually started it backed up) and you might see yourself the secretary is deactivated (if you had been activated to take advantage of the thing).
