I would like you tech knolledge on this please.

One of my virtual buddies called me the other day. His number showed up so I saved it.

I tried to call him yesterday, kept getting an 'unobtainable' visual message on my phone, on the number he had given, so tried a short time later, nothing, sent a text, that didnt arrived as I didnt get a report, so then I just emailed and asked what was going on, as it seemed he had blocked my number.

Got emails back saying how 'odd' he thought it was, and that he would call Orange the problem, heard nothing, so yesterday ask him again, and, does he have another number I could speak to him on, or has he blocked my number, I didnt get anything back. Still unable to call his number.

When I wake up Sunday morning, I have a missed call at 01:20am and a voicemail from the number that I cannot call, I texted it at 16:58pm today and it went through, got delivery report, tried to phone it about 6pm Sunday evening and get 'unobtainable' visual message again.

Sent a text message and it came back 'Message rejected'.

How can he call me from the number at 01:20am, that I can text it at 16:58pm and get a delivery report, and now its rejecting calls and texts.

I have tried calling it from three others numbers unknown to him, but still get unobtainable message, and number not recognised.

So where did you get his number from?
Did he actually give you his number in an email?
If the only number you have is the one which appeared on your phone when he called you, that's not necessarily a valid number.

The number that comes up when someone calls you is not necessarily a valid number.

For example, if he set up a Skype account a couple of years ago, he could have set it to use a mobile number he had at that time. He may have changed his mobile number since then but it would still be the number that shows up when he uses Skype out (unless he updated it).

Try calling from a witheld number to see if the call goes thru?
Try calling from a different phone?

These call blocking apps are the best thing ever!
