What happens when you unblock a number on iPhone

If you block someone's number in iOS 7 and then unblock it and they messaged you while you had their number blocked, will you then receive the messages when you unblock the number?


Or would you just never receive those messages?

Thank you for your answer!

But did you receive the texts she sent you while she was blocked, after you unblocked her?

The article linked does not address your specific question, and is not entirely accurate.


Voicemail messages from blocked numbers appear as "blocked messages" and still can be listened to. Unblocking the number doesn't change the status as "blocked messages"


Text messages (SMS, MMS, iMessage) from blocked contacts (numbers or email addresses) do not appear anywhere on your device. Unblocking the contact does NOT show any messages sent to you when it was blocked.
