What to do if you get a text from a blocked number

If you get a text from a blocked number, there are a few things you can do.

• First, try replying to the message. Often, this will cause the sender’s phone number to be unblocked.
• If that doesn’t work, you can try calling the number back. This usually works for landlines, but it may not work for mobile numbers.
• Finally, you can try using a reverse phone lookup service to find out who the blocked number belongs to. This can be helpful if you think the text might be important.

If you’re getting texts from a blocked number that you don’t want, there are a few things you can do to stop them.

1. First, you can block the number yourself. This will prevent the person from being able to contact you.
2. Second, you can report the number to your carrier. They may be able to take action against the number, such as blocking it for all of their customers.
3. Third, you can report the number to the FCC. They can investigate and take action against the number if they find it to be in violation of their rules.
4. Finally, you can simply ignore the texts. They’ll eventually stop coming if the person realizes they’re not getting a response.

Why am i still getting texts from a blocked number

There are a few possible reasons for this.

• First, the person may have unblocked you.
• Second, the number may have been spoofed. This is when someone uses a fake number to send texts or make calls.
• Third, your carrier may not be blocking the number correctly. You can try contacting them to see if they can fix the problem.
• Fourth, the person may be using a messaging app that bypasses blocks. You can try blocking the number on the app, or you can report the problem to the app’s support team.
• Finally, it’s possible that you’re mistaken and the texts are coming from a different number. If you’re not sure, you can try using a reverse phone lookup service to find out who the number belongs to.
