Yes, you can still call or text them if you want, but they can’t contact you back if you have them blocked.
Are you curious about what happens when you block someone on your iPhone? Can you still call or text them? Well, in this article, let’s find out the story behind calling and texting someone you’ve blocked on your iPhone.
Can You Call Or Text Someone You Blocked On iPhone?
When you block someone on your iPhone, they won’t know you blocked them, and they won’t get any notifications.
If they try calling or texting you, it goes straight to voicemail or hangs up immediately, and the messages won’t reach you.
Interestingly, you can still call or text them if you want, but they can’t contact you back if you have them blocked.
Even though your calls and texts reach them, they can’t return your calls and texts.
If you change your mind and want to talk to someone on your blocked iPhone contacts list, you can unblock them.
They’ll then see your calls and texts, but if that person blocks you on their iPhone and you try to call or text them after unblocking, they won’t see it or be able to reply.
Calls won’t connect, and texts might say delivered for you but won’t reach the person on the other iPhone, as explained before.
In Conclusion
Blocked numbers on an iPhone doesn’t affect your ability to make outgoing calls or texts.
However, if they leave you a voicemail or send a text, you won’t be notified or receive them unless you unblock the person.
So, it’s a one-way communication street when someone is blocked on your iPhone.
