Filter a number at iMassages but still need to get calls from them?

Hello TfromN,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

It sounds like you want to know why you are still receiving phone calls from a contact that you blocked in iMessage. If you haven't already, try viewing and editing the phone block list as described below.

Block calls and block or filter messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

View or edit your blocked list

You can see the contacts and phone numbers that you've blocked in Settings under Phone, FaceTime, or Messages:

• Settings > Phone > Blocked
• Settings > FaceTime > Blocked
• Settings > Messages > Blocked

So long.
