Tap the name on the top of the screen for a message that has gotten through, then tap the Info button. Is it still showing as Blocked, with only the Unblock option.


If it is still showing that it is a Blocked number, then try a Force Restart of your phone. This will take a couple of attempts to get the speed and sequence correct and the last step of holding the side button until the Apple logo appears could take up to 20 seconds. You will need to continue holding until the Apple logo even if another message comes up on the screen.
