Why Can't I Receive Texts from Several People

Hello.

This is my first time using this service.

My problem is this.

I don't receive text message replies from 2 people for certain and there may be more than I am unaware of.

I've tried all of the advice from Apple support, such as deleting and then recreating the contact, but nothing has helped.

Thanks

I have IPhone se 2nd gen

Troubleshooting Blocked Callers:

Three things to try:

A. Contact your Carrier:

Ask you Carrier for assistance with this. Perhaps it is a mishap on their end?


B. "Unblock this Caller":

Add this personal as a contact. If they already are one, then select them from your Contact list of the Phone app, and then scroll to the very-bottom of their profile and tap: "Unblock this Caller"


C. Uninstall Security Software:

Also, do you have any third-party Security Software on your device? If so, a filter on it may be blocking it out. So, uninstall this app from your device.  Security Software just gets in the way on an Apple device, and this is a pure example of how and why.
