Deleted the app, but number still blocked

I added a app to block a number. It would give the caller the recording that the number was disconnected. I have since deleted the app, but the number is still blocked. I'm trying to unblock the number, but since I can't remember the app originally used, I can't!! Please help!

Once the app is gone, so are its abilities to do anything on your phone. So something else is going on.

Regardless, there are a few things you can do. One, in your contacts, make sure that the app didn't mark that number as blocked.

If that wasn't it, delete that entry in contacts [making note of its info first, of course], then add it back. If that solves it, you're done.

Finally, although I do not see how the app could still control your phone after it's uninstalled, you can locate the app by viewing your Play Store history. Using a browser, not the Play Store app, go to My Android Apps. Your apps will be listed with the most recently installed first. Assuming you installed it from Play, it should be there.
