blocked numbers

Hello jwent55,

Thanks for reaching out to us in Apple Support Communities about how to unblock a phone number. We're happy to help by looking into this more! 

Here's a resource that can help:

Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Specifically, take a look at the section labeled "Manage your blocked phone numbers, contacts, and emails"

If you remove a phone number from the list of blocked phone numbers, that will unblock it.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards.
