Hello Ebcrazy,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with a message indicating that your message was sent as a text. This indicates it was sent as an SMS message and not an iMessage. It does not indicate you are blocked. You can find information about sending SMS messages here: If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If you see a green message bubble
If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. There are several reasons for this:
- The person that you sent the message to doesn't have an Apple device.
- iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient’s device. To check if iMessage is turned on for your device, go to Settings > Messages > iMessage.
- iMessage is temporarily unavailable on your device or on your recipient’s device.
- You might need to update your settings for Messages after you set up a new device.

We hope this helps.
