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?

Hello... If you know the person you want to unblock, then iMessage them from your iPhone, now click on their icon "Name" at the top of the screen, this will bring up a screen about the contact person's information. You will see "CALL - VIDEO - MAIL - INFO" tabs. At this point click on "INFO". Now scroll down to the bottom and you will see "UNBLOCK CALLER".
I hope this helps you...

How do I unblock a number that doesn’t give me the choice to unblock!
Try swiping down further. You will see either the ability to block or unblock.
have you tried
Does it say "Block this Caller" in contacts? If so, then they are not actually blocked.
Unblock a phone number in messages
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.

Go to Contacts. Find the contact you want to unblock. Tap "Unblock Caller".

Having a problem retrieving a contact number that I blocked years ago.
What does that mean? Does it mean you can't find it in the blocked list in Settings>Phone>Blocked Contacts?
My husband and I cannot receive the six digit number from different vendors when they went when they were trying to get make sure we are the right person with the right phone. This has been going on for 6 to 9 months and it is driving us crazy we cannot receive any numbers. We both have separate numbers, but we cannot receive any numbers to make sure they know it’s us. What do we do? What do we do? It’s so hard I’m 78 and I don’t know what to do. Please help.
Some of my contacts can call me but others say it goes straight to voicemail and their not blocked, why are my calls going to voicemail, and some just disconnect and they can’t text me either, please help
Unfortunately my list of blocked numbers is in the thousands so scrolling through to find it is nearly impossible.
