Try sending a text message

What does texting a blocked number look like?

Texting someone who's blocked you works as you would expect. The message sends as normal, and you don't get an error message. This is no help at all for clues. If you have an iPhone and try to send an iMessage to someone who has blocked you, it will remain blue (which means it's still an iMessage).

Will * 67 work on a blocked number?

If someone blocks your cell number, can you put *67 before it and text or call them? No - that won't work. The *67 function only stops the person you're calling from seeing the number. It does not make the number invisible to the network's equipment.
