Getting "Free Msg: Unable to send message - Message Blocking is active" on my mac and iPhone. This just started happening recently. Cannot figure out how to fix this.

Hi davewhunt,
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Phone numbers that you manually block appear under Blocked Contacts.
Apple Support have an article online that may help:
Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
For iMessage:
Go to Settings > Messages.
Under SMS/MMS, tap Blocked Contacts.

Or
You may have used "Silence Unknown Callers" or a third-party app to block spam calls on your iPhone.
This blocks phone numbers that you've never been in contact with and don’t have saved in your contacts list.
(Settings > Phone, then scroll down, tap Silence Unknown Callers and turn on / off the feature. )

Hope this helps you :-)

Hello,
Since that sounds like it’s coming from your carrier, I’m guessing it’s possibly about Wi-Fi calling and text forwarding.
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
I hope this helps.
