You have the option to block any contact on your phone who you no longer want to receive calls or text messages from.
This can be due to any reason you have. Blocking allows you to control who can contact you and who cannot.
Members of the Apple community have been wondering if it is possible to communicate with a contact that you have blocked.
In this article, you will learn if you can call or text someone you blocked on your iPhone.
Can You Call or Text Someone You Blocked on Your iPhone?
When you block someone on your iPhone, they do not receive any notifications that you have blocked them.
Unless you gave them prior notice that you were going to block them, a contact that is blocked would not know.
Anytime they try to call you, it will either take them to voicemail or abruptly hang up. Same thing with sending you a text message.
Although on their end the message will be sent and their network provider will charge them the message will never be delivered to you.
But you can call or text someone you blocked on your iPhone. Blocking them means they cannot contact you but not vice versa.
If you have blocked a contact on your iPhone and for whatever reason you want to give them a call or send them a text, then yes you can do that.
This is only possible if you have also not been blocked by them. If you have not, you can call them and it will go through and they will see the call.
The text messages that you also send them will be sent and delivered and they will see the message.
The twist is that if you still have them blocked, although you can call them or text them, they cannot reciprocate. They can receive your calls when you call them but they cannot call you back because they are blocked.
They also cannot reply to your text messages when they see them because the ones they send will not be delivered.
Conclusion
Once you decide to call or text someone you have blocked then maybe you no longer want to cut off their access to you. If that is the case, then it is advised that you unblock them.
In this article, you have learned if it is possible to call or text a contact that you have blocked on your iPhone.
