Can you see if a blocked number has tried to contact you?
There are two methods for this.
The first one is to enable Call Recording on your SIP Phone. Then use a SIP Tracer such as SIPTurtle to trace the call you are receiving. The call recording should then show you the exact moment the caller has tried to contact you.
The second way is to enable Trace Number Verification on your SIP Phone. This will show you which SIP Proxy your caller used to try to reach you. The Caller ID will also give you the caller's SIP address.
Can I stop someone from using my number? If they have called your SIP Traced number they will be displayed in the Caller ID of your SIP Phone and on your SIP Phone you will receive a message informing you that a caller has called your number.

How do I see blocked contacts on Samsung?
This is more of an app question really, because I use an iPhone for all my communication. But one thing I've noticed with my S7 when making calls from it to my husband's phone is that if we have a number already saved in his contacts, when I dial the number I get a message saying the contact is not found. I have to go into his contacts and clear out the entry and then when I dial the number, it works fine. If I delete that entry on the phone, it works fine when I dial, but then I can no longer add it to the contacts, which is a PITA because I like being able to add new numbers. I don't know if this is normal behavior, or if he's the only one who experiences this problem. Does anyone else have this same problem?
