Thanks Meg.


So if blocked I would hear ringing but the recepient would not? However, the voice mail I leave you appear in their visual voice mail?


What about text messages? If I am blocked does my message show anywhere on the persons phone? Or iPad? Is their a "spam" style mailbox for blocked in comming messages? Or does the blocked iMessage or text simply not exist?


I did an experiment yesterday with a friend that I asked to block me. I set up iMessage to my phone number plus 3 additional e mail addresses. When she blocked my phone number, my message to her still showed on her iPhone delivered from my e mail.

OK, this is helpful.


So, if I send a iMessage or text message to someone and it says "delivered" it really tells me nothing?


IE--if unblocked the person saw the message and if block they did not.


Since I do not know if I have been bloced or not it seems to me there is no way for me to tell the delivery status.


Thanks for your time and I appreciate the feedback.
