What is Blocked Call

A blocked call is a call that is blocked from reachioung out to the call receiver due to some reason. In individual use, this is mostly referred to proactive block of exact phone number from calling you, while in call center industry, blocked calls happen mostly due to high workload on inbound line or overload of the call center system.

Blocked calls are a common problem for call centers, as often there are just too few agents to handle the incoming call volume, and this causes blocked calls – system just unables callers from reaching out to a call center as it has run out of its capacity.
