There is built in protection that when you're smartphone contacts Emergency services through Emergency Calls that is present on lock screen, the blocked numbers will get disabled until you yourself enable the block back again from a notification or until two hours.

This is done, so that Emergency Services can call you back without any trouble.

Hence, if call blocking something that is crucial for you, this information might help you.

How is this even useful? First, no one knows it even exists, second, why would I have emergency numbers blocked? I wouldn't block emergency numbers.. Third, I never made an emergency phone call the times this showed up on my phone..
So, lets see how this works......
If I make an emergency call, samsung unblocks my blocked numbers so while I'm having an emergency, all the idiots I blocked for spamming me, can now spam me. That's just what I want, to be spammed while I'm having an emergency... So while I'm trying to get help, I can't, because spammers are tying up my line.... I know, not likely, but it could happen. The ONE time I really need those numbers blocked is when I need to speak to the people helping me with an emergency...

This is ridiculous. Someone whom I had blocked, got an access to my phone duets accidental dialing of emergency number. The person practically bugged me for 4 hours....
