Notifications from a recently unblocked number?

Hello EchoRoo,

Once you unblock a contact, notifications should come through immediately, assuming they are set up correctly.

These steps from Block calls and messages from certain people - Apple Support should unblock a contact:

You can manage your blocked contacts through any of the four apps that allow blocking—Phone, FaceTime, Messages, and Mail. Unblocking in one app unblocks across all four apps. Do any of the following to see the list of numbers you have blocked:

* iPhone: Go to Settings  > Phone, then tap Blocked Contacts.

* FaceTime on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then under Calls, tap Blocked Contacts.

* FaceTime on your Mac: Open FaceTime, go to FaceTime > Settings (or FaceTime > Preferences), then click Blocked.

* Messages app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > Messages, then under SMS/MMS, tap Blocked Contacts.

* Messages app on your Mac: Open Messages, go to Messages > Settings (or Messages > Preferences), click iMessage, then click Blocked.

* Mail app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > Mail, then under Threading, tap Blocked.

* Mail app on your Mac: Open Mail, go to Mail > Settings (or Mail > Preferences), click Junk Mail, then click Blocked.
