The block was set up years ago, long before the current will was created IIRC. I think it's highly unlikely the parents had anything to do with it.I guess that depends on when the phone was actually blocked and who did it, and that's something we don't know. That's why it could've been blocked by either the parents or George, and if it was George, I'd be surprised he had done it just following instructions.
So, if George did it:
- Following instructions -> why would the parents want them to be away from each other in case they died? even if there's a big master plan, why not joining them in order to be stronger together?
- On his own -> the closer they were, the more complicated it would be for him to be in control if he had other plans (divide and conquer, basic strategy).
If the parents did it, was George aware of it?

George is likewise very unlikely; again, unless we assume he's spent years plotting the perfect assassination for the Cambells only to ignore their children, there was no reason for him to worry about Jaye and the MC coordinating back then. We're also told he had to pull a lot of strings to get the MC back in time for the funeral. It's possible that was an elaborate lie, of course, but it seems an inordinate amount of work for minimal gain. It would have been much simpler and more effective to block Jaye on the MC's phone as well, which clearly did not happen.
Tara seems to think the MC was behind the block, and while far fetched, that makes a lot more sense. Our hero was, running away from his attraction to Jaye, after all. By blocking her ability to receive his calls ensured that he couldn't contact her and confess his feelings in a moment of weakness. If he ever really wanted to get in touch with her he could always come home (or arrange something via their parents).
