How to Make Someone Think your Phone is Disconnected App
You could probably do a search on Google Play or the App Store to find apps that will make it look as though your phone has been disconnected to certain people, the only problem is that, in most cases, you will have to pay for an app that has the ability to make your cell phone appear disconnected, especially if you want you cell phone to look disconnected ONLY to certain, specific phone numbers.
An app called Trapcall that worked amazingly well. You simply add any phone number you wish to Trapcalls blacklist and anytime a phone number in the blacklist called, they immediately got a greeting that genuinely sounded as though the phone was disconnected.
The problem with Trapcall and other types of apps for making your phone appear disconnected is ...
They are not free.
Cell phone apps tend to be buggy to say the least. If you really want to sell the idea that your phone is disconnected, reliability is pretty important.
How to Make Someone Think your Phone 📴 is Disconnected - Step #1 Forward All Calls
The first step of making certain people think you cell number is disconnected and dead involves forward ALL of your cell phones calls to your Google Voice account.
Set up the phone you want to make appear disconnected so that all calls automatically forward to your Google Voice phone number. There is a table below that contains all different GSM phone codes including forwarding all your cell phone calls and cancelling forwarding of calls. I have Crickett Wireless and for my cell phone service call forwarding is accomplished by dialing *002*[phone number]# so for example if my Google Voice number that I want to forward all calls to is 860-491-3227, to forward all calls to this number with my phone would involve pressing *002*8604913227#. To undo or cancel call forward I would dial ##002#. If for some reason the call forwarding code is not shown in the table below, do a Google search for [phone carrier] call forwarding ie att call forwarding. Successful call forward and cancelling of call forwarding should be followed by a short beep and a message on your phones screen indicating that your call forwarding or cancelling of call forwarding was successful.
With this method, all phone calls coming to the phone that you wish to appear out of service and dead will be forwarded to your Google Voice account. If you don't want to miss these calls, simply open your cell phones web browser to your Google Voice account. You will see when calls and texts come in from numbers you WANT to receive calls and texts from. You can simply call or text them right back.

At this point you have your cell phone set up so all calls are automatically forwarded to your Google Voice account. Now you want to follow these instructions to make certain people think your phone number has been disconnected.
Google Voice is fantastic in that all you have to do to make your number appear disconnected is simply block a phone number. To do this you can either ...
Wait for the person to call or text you once so you can then proceed to block them.
Call or text them once so their number is in the Google Voice system so you can block them. If you call them it only has to ring once and then you can hang up.
Use a caller id spoofing service to call your Google Voice number with the phone number you wish to block showing up in your Google Voice account.
Here are a couple of reliable caller ID spoofing services online that are free and can be used to make the phone number appear in your Google Voice account, that you wish to have believe your phone has been disconnected:
Once the phone number of the person you want them to think your phone number is disconnected is in the Google Voice account, to block them:
In either the Google Voice phone calls tab or text messages tab, click on the phone number you wish to appear disconnected.
Look for the three vertical dots ⋮ which is an options sub menu for that phone number. Click the three vertical dots to make the sub menu appear.
Click Block Number.
Repeat this process for any other phone numbers you want to make it look like your phone number has been disconnected.
To really sell the idea your phone has been disconnected, you might want to also add phone number of friends and/or relatives of the person/people you wish to think your phone is no longer in service. That way if the person tries to call from one of these friends or relatives phone and they get the same phone disconnected message, they will then truly believe that your phone is disconnected.
