Blocked contact appearance to caller

Looked to other answers yet hoping someone could explain how a blocked contact from iPhone appears to the caller that's blocked. Also how does a text message appear as blocked?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

New iPhone 13 is blocking random callers. I recently upgraded to an iPhone 13 and some of my contacts are getting a "blocked" message when they try to text or call. I have never installed a spam caller app, and I have never blocked these callers. When I go to the blocked call list, their numbers are not listed. They are also not listed as blocked in my contacts. How do I fix this? Do I need to reinstall the iOS and hope for the best? Does reinstalling the iOS revert my phone to factory settings? (In which case, how do I get all my info and apps back?) HALP.

Blocked calls that aren't blocked iPhone x A few of my contacts aren't able to call me. Goes straight to voice mail. Their not blocked, I checked their contact info. In fact, I cleared ALL blocked calls to see if that would do it..nope! And it's only a few of my contacts. 3 that I know of. What's up? Any help would be great full. IPhone X

Hi there Oldschoolappleuser,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you want to know how it will appear to other people if they are blocked. Calls from blocked contacts will just go to voicemails, but you won’t see any notification from them. Messages will appear to be sent, but will not be delivered to you. Learn more here: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

We hope this helps!
