Can someone tell if I blocked their number?

No, someone isn't directly notified when you block their number, but they might suspect it if their calls go straight to voicemail (iPhone/Android) or if texts don't deliver, though these signs can also mean their phone is off or they have no signal, making it hard to know for sure without trying other numbers. A key clue is if their calls ring once and then go to voicemail, while texts just seem to disappear without a delivered status, as noted in articles from IPVanish and T-Mobile.

No, *67 generally won't bypass a number block; it only hides your caller ID for that specific call, making it appear as "Private" or "Unknown," but the recipient's phone still knows it's blocked and might send your call to voicemail or reject it entirely, though they might pick up out of curiosity, as discussed on Quora. The person's phone settings or network still intercepts the call because the block is on their end, not your caller ID. 

Can police pull up deleted text messages?

Can someone call me back if I use *67?

You generally cannot directly call back a number that used *67 because it hides the Caller ID, showing as "Private," "Restricted," or "Unknown," but phone companies log the number, and you might use services like *69 (on landlines) or apps like Truecaller to try and reveal it, though it's not guaranteed for *67. The best way is often waiting for them to call again or contacting your carrier to see if they can help. 

Can I private call someone who blocked me?

Yes, you can often call someone who blocked you by dialing *67 (in the US/Canada) before the number to hide your Caller ID as "Private" or "Unknown," but this depends on the recipient's phone settings (like blocking "Unknown" calls) and carrier.
