How to text someone who has you blocked

If an Android user has blocked you, Lavelle says, “your text messages will go through as usual; they just won't be delivered to the Android user.” It's the same as an iPhone, but without the “delivered” notification (or lack thereof) to clue you in.

Text them from a different Facebook or Instagram account if they blocked your primary social media accounts. Look up the person's phone number or username on these apps and send them a message. They'll receive your text if they haven't blocked you on the platform.

Dial *67. This code will block your number so that your call shows up as an "Unknown" or "Private" number. Enter the code before the number that you're dialing, like so: *67-408-221-XXXX. This may work on cell phones and home phones, but it won't necessarily work on businesses.
