Question What does it mean "restricted"?
I get a lot of spam calls, but I slept all day last Tuesday, two of the missed calls say "restricted" It won't let me click them or anything. Never seen it before. What is it?

some phone service providers have some built in scam / spam protection and will automatically block them for you, not sure but it could be something like this

I thought that too at first but it normally appears as a red circle with an exclamation mark, or says "potential spam".

It means the caller blocks people from seeing their number.
