The next major impact of blocking a number is on SMS messages. When you block a number on Android or iPhone, that number cannot send you a regular text message (SMS or MMS). Even though the message will be sent from the sender's side but you won't receive the message. Messages, like calls, have a one-way impact.
They won't get a notification saying they were blocked and won't be able to see it plainly anywhere, but they can infer it. There are ways a person can figure out if they were likely blocked, like sending you texts and calling you.
When someone you've blocked tries to text you, you will not receive text messages from them. The blocked person also does not receive any notification that they're blocked.
To know if someone blocked your texts on Android, you can also try texting the person from your phone and see if you get a response. If you don't hear back from the person via call or text for a long time, they may have blocked you, not wanting any further communication with you.
If an Android user has blocked you, Lavelle says, “your text messages will go through as usual; they just won't be delivered to the Android user.” It's the same as an iPhone, but without the “delivered” notification (or lack thereof) to clue you in.
Any messages you send to a contact person who has blocked you will always show one check mark (a sign of a message sent) but never show the second checkmark (a sign of message delivered).
Blocked text messages disappear
When someone that you've blocked texts you, their texts go nowhere. They won't receive any notification that they're blocked, and their messages will still look like they've been sent. But you won't receive any of them, and you can't respond.
Android phones move all blocked messages into a folder on the phone called “Spam and Blocked.” That means that the phone is still collecting messages from the blocked people; they just aren't notifying you. This can be a lifesaver in needing those blocked messages for various reasons after the fact.
When you block a phone number or contact, they can still leave a voicemail, but you won't get a notification. Messages that are sent or received won't be delivered. Also, the contact won't get a notification that the call or message was blocked.
People aren't notified when you block them. After you block someone, their likes and comments will be removed from your photos and videos. Unblocking someone won't restore their previous likes and comments.

Once someone blocked your number, you will not receive any phone calls or text messages from them.
If someone using an Android device blocks your number, you can't contact them via SMS, cellular calls, or RCS messaging. When an iPhone user blocks your number, you can't reach the person via iMessage, FaceTime, cellular calls, and SMS messages.
One method you can use on any type of phone is by calling the person you suspect has blocked you. While typically you can expect to hear anywhere from three to 12 rings when you call someone before going to voicemail, a blocked number will only ring once and then go straight to voicemail, according to Tom'sGuide.com.
On an Android, go to Settings / Call, Call rejection. Enter the number that you wish to block. You can also register for the Do Not Call list or use third party apps such as Mr. Call to block incoming calls and texts.
Open the dialler>settings>block numbers. You will see the list of blocked numbers and tapping the red line in front of a number will unblock it. What do you mean by 'delete'? You should be able to go into phone and find the numbers then open them then you click delete.
When you delete a contact, it won't appear in the contact list as well. Deleting blocked numbers means you are unblocking the blocked numbers. Therefore, after deleting blocked numbers, the numbers can call on your number as well as send you messages.
Related. On an iPhone running iOS 7 or later, you can finally block the phone number of a nuisance caller. Once blocked, the phone number remains blocked on the iPhone even after you delete it from your Phone, FaceTime, Messages or Contacts apps. You can confirm its sustained blocked status in Settings.
Can I trace unknown, blocked, or private numbers? Private numbers, blocked, and restricted calls can usually be traced. However, unknown, unavailable or out of area calls are not traceable because they don't contain the data needed for a successful trace.
Deleting a contact / conversation doesn't impact the other party's chat history. The conversations will be preserved on the other side whether you keep or delete. Blocking a contact means that person will not be able to chat with you anymore unless you unblock. Was this reply helpful?
When you block a number, it automatically blocks all incoming calls and messages from that number and also deletes all of the conversations you have had with them.
