How to block someone's number but still see if they've tried to contact me?
I'm receiving calls/texts from people who I've recently cut ties with (long history of abuse) and I find it disruptive to be enjoying my day and all of a sudden receive a text from them. I have considered blocking their numbers, but I don't want them to send me a text and me not know about it (e.g. Legal reasons). Basically, I would like to not be notified when they text me, but have the option of going and checking to see if they have (could I unblock their numbers and would missed calls/texts come in?).
It's not very frequent, but for example they might try to contact me on my birthday and I'd rather just not have to deal with that then. I use an iphone and so do all they.
It sounds like it's probably not possible but any insight would be greatly appreciated.
If you have a smart phone look at "blocking" apps, all the apps work a little differently.
- If you block someone's number can they call you through withheld? If you've blocked someone's number on your iPhone if they ring on 141 would they still be able to call you?
- If someone were to block my text now number would it block my normal number? I was teasing my girlfriend on my text now and she blocked me and I tired calling her and texting her on my normal number but she won't reply and it only run once and hung up. She has an iPhone, would it block my normal number if she blocked my text now number?
- If I have someone's number blocked on iPhone can they see my messages in a group text? On an iPhone w/ iOS 8. For example if I'm in a group message with 3-5 other people and one is a number I've blocked. If I send a message in the group chat can they see my message like everyone else?
- If i block someone's number then send them a text will they still get my message? I had blocked someone's number on my iphone then forgot and i sent them a text(while they were still blocked) i realized they were still blocked like 5 seconds after i sent it, so i unblocked them, but i don't know if they still got my text? does anyone knows if a message will still send if you have the person blocked? please answer
