Re: The person you are trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time
If you have a verizon phone, and you call an ATT phone who has blocked your number, will you hear an error message?

Re: The person you are trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time
I also have the same problem and I have called off another number and got the same answer, so I'm assuming I haven't been blocked. Is the only other explanation when this happens just an unpaid bill? (and a stolen/lost phone but that seems unlucky since they always keep theirs close to them.)
Thank you,

Re: The person you are trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time
Ok. So I tried using someone else's phone when i was having this problem, and the person i had called, the call went straight to voicemail. So does this mean that MY number is blocked???

Re: The person you are trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time
This is a general response to one of the messages above. When someone is internationally roaming they might turn off voicemail to avoid international roaming charges when a ringing call is forwarded to voicemail. They do not pay for the ringing time unless they answer the call. If the call goes to voicemail after ringing in the foreign country, they would pay for at least one minute of the incoming call plus all the time spent in voicemail. If the telephone is on, you get the ringing. If the telephone is off or unreachable, you get the message.

Re: The person you are trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time
I have been having the same problem, but its my roomate and i know their phone isnt cut off or roaming or dead or any of the other problems. We can both call other people and recieve calls but when we call each other it tells us "The person you are calling is not accepting calls right now." but we can both call and recieve calls from anyone else?! And both of our phones are paid, working fine, never blocked each others number or any of these excuses up here?

That is so not true... you can call and have any number blocked through any carrier without a reason...

Re: The person you are trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time
Correct!! This will happen when you're out of balance and your phone is in roaming charge, due to which incoming call cannot happen come to your phone, whomever will try to call you will hear this message.
Recharge your phone then.
If you're reaching out to someone and you're facing the issue, recharge their phone number and try contacting. You can able to contact.
