Recipient Is Blocking Caller
Some people can set up their phone services to selectively accept or reject calls. With selective acceptance, the call recipient permits calls from certain phone numbers and blocks all others. With selective rejection, the recipient blocks certain numbers and accepts the rest. All blocked callers hear the message.
Recipient Is Accepting No Calls
The message might also play when a telephone subscriber blocks everyone for a preset amount of time to prevent disruption. For example, the person you’re trying to reach might have blocked all calls because he’s resting, in class or on vacation.
Line Is Disconnected
Some phone carriers use the message to prevent embarrassment to subscribers who have been disconnected because of lack of payment. Additionally, this message might play in error if the line is disconnected for any reason, such as when technical problems occur on the carrier’s end. Writer Bio
