If you're still getting iMessages from a blocked contact, that means that you have only blocked their number and received messages from their Apple ID instead. If you're still receiving SMS texts, you will need to do a soft reset for your iPhone, and unblock then block the number again.
If an iMessage, did you block the number, or the Apple ID. If you just added the number, then it may be coming from the Apple ID. If you blocked the contact, make sure it includes the number and caller ID. Apple ID would work for iMessage.
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.
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.
When you block a contact over Android or iPhone, they will still be able to send you text messages. These messages will not show up on your phone but the sender will see the messages as sent. They won't know that they've been blocked.
Block a number
Open your Phone app . Call history . Tap a call from the number you want to block. Tap Block / report spam.
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.
Your old messages remain blue, but the latest texts you send after they've blocked you turn green. However, the bubble colors aren't accurate clues. They could mean the recipient turned off their phone, gone offline, or switched from iOS to Android.
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.
You can block unwanted text messages on an Android phone by blocking the number with just a few taps. You can block numbers from within your text messaging app, but the exact process depends on which app you use. If you can't find the option to block, you can install the Google Messages app and use that app instead.
Yes, it is possible to delete blocked numbers. 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.
To block caller ID for an individual call, dial 1831 (or #31# from a mobile) then the number you are calling. Generally, this will make sure the person you are calling will not see your number.
To turn off caller ID, open Settings, tap Applications, and then tap Phone. Locate and tap More Settings. Tap Caller ID. And select Hide Number.

Which is better for you? Most iPhone users will want to use iMessages, so long as they have a good plan that can handle the data usage. The only reason to use SMS instead of iMessage is if you're chatting with people who don't have Apple devices, or if you don't have any data on your phone.
So, if a text message is green, it can mean one of two things. No, it doesn't mean that the text won't go through or hasn't gone through. Instead, a green text message on an iPhone is an SMS message that has been delivered to a phone that is not an iPhone or Apple device (ie. an Android).
Check your call log in your phone settings – If the call from the blocked contact did not go through, it may still appear in your log as an attempted call. 2. Review voicemails – If the contact left a voicemail, it may appear in your inbox even if their number was blocked.
To know if someone blocked you on iPhone, try sending both an iMessage and SMS message. You can also check if you're blocked on social media apps, or try a different number or device. It's hard to know for sure if you're blocked, as it could also be Do Not Disturb or Airplane Mode.
