If someone with iMessage blocks my number and I text them and it sends as an sms message cause I’m blocked obviously, will they still see it or no?
iPhone XR
iMessage is the blue bubble, they can block that on their iPhone. SMS is the green bubble and is under the purview of the cell service provider. They can contact their cell service provider and ask to have your phone number blocked.
Depends on if they also blocked you with their cell service provider.
So which is which? If they just do it on their phones they can still see texts but if they block it thru their provider then they won’t see anything?
