It could be that the number is no longer valid or no longer working. Try to call the same number using other person`s number. If still the same, then that number you`re trying to call is invalid and might have expired. Try to make sure that when you dial, you see all numbers dialled correctly and properly.

This means the number is not in service at the moment, meaning the number could eventually be used in the future but is currently not in service by the person you are trying to reach.

Try to check your location and if there`s an area code try to edit it with the contact number you wish to contact. if not, the name might deactivated his/her mobile number.

It can mean many things. Either the phone service is disconnected or they are in a bad service area where they can`t get the call.

Maybe your number code that you use is incorrect or there`s a missing number.try to recheck the number.
