If I unblock someone, will I get messages?
So, on an Iphone, on Imessage, If I block someone and they send me Imessages while they are blocked, will I get the messages that they sent me while blocked when I unblock them?
Or are those messages gone forever?
No, you will not get any old messages… Gone forever.
Any message sent, while you had them blocked is gone, and when you unblock them, you only get NEW messages that are sent after they have been unblocked.
So if you want to ignore someone for say a week, put their contact info on silent, that way you don't hear they have sent text. And then you can greedily read everything they send. Otherwise you are playing that stupid Block UNBLOCK game that most people are playing, but wishing they could see the begging and pleading to text or call them. (at least that is what they are hoping is happening while they are blocking people). <wink>
Me if I have gotten to the point of needing to block someone, I just delete them from my contacts, and their message never reach me after that point, because for me, if their number is not in my contacts, I don't get the texts or the calls. Out of sight, out of mind (aka dead to me).
- Would restoring my iPhone unblock any blocked numbers? All of my iPhone contacts have been bloked I have a k9 app on my computer and a find my iPhone app and the app store is disabled I need to know if restoring the iphone would unblock all the blocked numbers if I tried calling them after restoring it?
- Is it possible to UNBLOCK an iphone or not because the imei? I bought a iphone a few weeks ago and the person didn't tell me its blocked so i'm fuming. Is there any way of unblocking it? Or anyone no where i can get it unblocked? In the uk please
- If you put somebody on the blocked list then unblock them do their messages come through? I'm trying to avoid talking to someone but I'm curious as to if they will even bother to reach out to me while I'm not speaking to them. So if you have an iphone and block a person, do the messages that were sent to you while blocked come through once you unblock them?
- If I turn off push messages on my iphone 4 will I still get my regular text messages? I read that turning off push messages or setting them to manually helps save battery life. I want to know if I do this will I still be able to receive my regular text messages.
