Contact still blocked after unblocking

I blocked my wife (also Emergency contact) to experience what a blocked caller experiences. This was only a few minutes. After unblocking she can no longer call me. I have no third party blocking or call filtering apps, it was a straight block contact, call, and then unblock that caused the issue.

I see others have tried making new contacts with previously blocked numbers to no avail. Why is this bug not fixed? I have an iPhone X, my wife has an iPhone 14. She can text me and leave a message, but the call wont come through.

Wondering if you have tried restarting your iiPhone so the changes may take effect.

The situation has resolved now, but not sure what action actually did the trick. I did delete the number in the contact page (leaving emails and other numbers alone) and re-enter it, the phone did an update from iOS 16.2 to 16.3 (and it restarted as a consequence).

Thanks for the suggestion, that may have been the fix, but not sure.
