I need to unblock a number that is in my contacts. Instructions I've seen here say I should be able to do that from within the Contacts app but there isn't an unblock option when I bring up the contact in question. Finding their number in my list of blocked numbers is not possible given the length of that list.
Any other suggestions?

I would like to unblock one of my contacts and especially the phone number. How do I do that?

I’m trying to unblock a contact that I block in error. It doesn’t give me the option to unblock that contact. What do I do?
It’s not simple if you have thousands of blocked contacts. The problem statement is simple. When I go to my contacts list I do not have the option to block or unblock the caller when I select edit. How can I see this option when I bring up my contacts list?

Unfortunately my list of blocked numbers is in the thousands so scrolling through to find it is nearly impossible.
When you block a number it will have unblock in contacts. Pull the name or number in contacts and if is a blocked number it will say unblock. Just tap on unblock and the number is no longer blocked. It will say blocked when you do that. Strangely, it will say block. Meaning the contact is not block. To block it back you tap block and tap the next to words that come up. Now it is blocked again.
My experience is that a key point is to go to "Contacts" directly, select the person you want, and then you'll see the Unblock option, NOT to the little circled "i" in the top right corner of the address card info that is in the list of blocked callers. This means you first have to create an address card for the person/phone number, save it, and then go back to the Contacts tab and to the person there to see the option to Unblock.

What does that mean? Does it mean you can't find it in the blocked list in Settings>Phone>Blocked Contacts?
Does it say "Block this Caller" in contacts? If so, then they are not actually blocked.
