Instead of unblocking the person via the Phone app or their individual contact card, remove them directly from your system-wide block list:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap Apps > Phone (or Messages).
  3. Scroll down and select Blocked Contacts.
  4. Tap Edit in the top right corner.
  5. Tap the red minus icon  next to the contact's name or number, then tap Unblock.
  6. Tap Done.
