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?

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.

I tested it out by blocking my sister, and seeing what happens. Calls go through as if they're ignored, text messages go through with no indication, and iMessages are the same. Facetimes come up as unavailiable.

Do you know what happens on the blocked number's end? Do the messages bounce back to them, or just appear to go through? I can't seem to find that info anywhere.
Thank you for your answer!
But did you receive the texts she sent you while she was blocked, after you unblocked her?
