How to fix Call problems / Not Registered on Network Message / Phone not receiving calls
Reason 1: The Recipient is Blocking the caller
Some users set up their phones to selectively accept or reject your calls. In such cases, calls from only a few people are accepted, and any other call from any other user not configured to receive the calls from is blocked automatically.
When the user has configured such selective call reception, he or she will set it up only to receive calls from only a few select callers. When that happens, you will get the message that “The person you are calling cannot accept call at this time”.

Have I Been Blocked?
The first question that comes to your mind when you get the message indicating that the person you are calling cannot accept calls at this time is to check if you have been blocked by the recipient. While that may be one of the prime reasons for the message, it should not necessarily mean you are blocked.
It can even be a technical block. It may also be an indication that the phone line may be busy or the recipient may not be available. If you find the phone rings one before you receive the message, it could be an indication of a different problem. If you are facing the issues frequently, it may indicate your number has been blocked.
