To clarify: the number needs to stay in the blocked list. As long as you don't delete it from there, they will stay blocked. You can delete them from your Contacts.

Even if you delete the person in your contacts - they still remained blocked. Check your block list and theyre number appears

Completely incorrect.
The only thing I would add to Michael's excellent answer is that the block list is synced to your Apple ID so that if you have more than one phone with the same Apple ID, the person will be blocked on both devices.
They only stay blocked as long as they are in your contacts and blocked list. Blocking in iOS is just a blacklisting of flagged contacts on your device. If you delete the number from the blocked calls listing, you eliminate the block.
What do blocked callers hear or see on their end if they call or text you?

No it does not. The blocking is done purely on the device itself. It has nothing at all to do with your carrier nor your telephone number nor your SIM card. iOS blocking simply keeps a database of blocked numbers on the device itself and blocks them based on the incoming cal’sl caller ID string. It is purely a local handset specific blacklisting feature.

Incorrect. An iOS device, iPhone or iPad, stores nothing at all on the SIM card. No data is written to it all.
Nothing
