Hello Vetkey!
Welcome to and thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
I understand from your post that when you try to send a message using your iPhone, you receive a message that says that message blocking is active.
In this particular situation, you will need to speak with your carrier to have them check your service to make sure you do not have a block turned on.
Also, check out the steps in this article called If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
I hope this information helps you!
Cheers.
