Blocked numbers can still text my iPhone

I have blocked a text message number, 250-14 multiple times and yet it continues to deliver text messages to me. Supposedly from a company called, "Crisis Gear". I blocked four of their phone numbers and one short text message number. I'm experimenting now by adding it to my contacts and blocking that particular contact. I went back through my emails and texts from Crisis Gear and added their contact info to that contact. I named that contact Junk Blocked Number.

We'll see if that helps. This is one sneaky organization...

Apple please feel free to reach out or investigate how this can continue to happen.

Types of SMS services known to me.

One-way SMS: A business may have something to say, so they may send a single text message blast to get the word out. For example; Promotional SMS, Notices, Verification Codes, Bank OTPs, Transaction Confirmation, offers, Coupon, Discounts, Flash SMS, Reminders etc

Two-way SMS: This is what most of us use.

SMS Chatbots: The chatbot will allow an organisation's clients to start or stop a service or interact with FAQs.
