# Blocklist

> Stop a number from calling or texting anyone in your workspace, and lift the block when you're ready.

Blocking a number stops it reaching you completely. A blocked caller can't ring or text any of your numbers, so a persistent nuisance is dealt with in one go.

Go to **Settings**, then **Blocklist**, to manage the list. The subtitle sums it up: blocked numbers can't call or message any of your phone numbers.

## Blocking a number

1. Click **Block number**.
2. **Type the number** in the box, choosing the right country from the flag. Dialbird starts on your workspace's country, so most of the time you can just type the number.
3. Click **Block number** to confirm.

That's it. They can no longer reach you. Dialbird checks the number is valid before it lets you block it, so you can't block a typo by mistake.

<Warning>
  Blocking works across your **whole workspace**, not just the number you're looking at. A blocked number can't get through to any of your inboxes, and nobody on your team will hear from them either.
</Warning>

## Unblocking

Find the number in the list (use the search box if it's a long one) and click **Unblock** next to it. They can reach you again straight away.

## Seeing who's blocked

Everyone you've blocked is listed on this page, so you can scan the lot at a glance. If it's empty, you'll see **No blocked numbers**, which is exactly what you want to see most of the time.
