If you change ur number are you blocked still

If a person has an iPhone and a person with an iPhone blocks them, and the person who is blocked changes their number, will they be blocked still or no longer blocked?

Call blocking is based on the contact’s caller ID. If the caller ID, i.e. the telephone number, changes, then no, that number won’t be blocked until the recipient sees it and chooses to add it to their blocked list.

Presumably the person who blocked you will just do so again when they recognize the new number is you.

Greetings Steve703,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It seems like you want to know if a blocked phone number is still blocked if the person changes their number. This article explains that when you block a phone number, it is associated with that phone number. If you update a contact with the new number, you can block the contact.

Phone

If you're in the Phone app under Recents, tap next to the phone number or contact that you want to block. Scroll to the bottom of your screen, then tap Block this Caller.

To add a contact from Phone, go to Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification > Block Contact.

Block phone numbers and contacts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Take care.
