Have I been blocked on this phone?

Hi all,

When I try to text this phone, the message disappears when I push send. It's a Galaxy model. I can WhatsApp the number however. Have I been blocked or is it an issue with the phone?

Anyone have experience of this?

Anyone have any ideas? Been bugging me for a while as she knows about it but hasn't tried to sort it out. Don't think it's my phone as it only happens contacting her.

Err

No idea what your talking about. Do you mean you can’t text someone?

Id imagine if you were blocked it would just say 'message not delivered' or something like that

If I try to text, the message disappears when I press send and she's not receiving anything. It's okay to text on WhatsApp.

There is nothing on my phone. No undelivered text.

The problem is your phone, the recipient and the carrier do not have any way of deleting the message from your phone. Are the time settings correct on your phone?

Thank you. Yes they are fine. Only happens when trying to text her, no one else. She has mentioned an issue like this with someone else. Totally weird.

Have you got another phone you could put your sim in, see what happens then? Is there an auto archive setting that means the messages could be going to a hidden folder? Also run a virus scan on your phone, check there's nothing hiding in there.

In chat settings is the rich communications settings on? I had a problem receiving messages from just one person but after setting this to on they came through.

My husband accidentally blocked his best friend on texts. Your phone might be a bit different to mine but go into the message of the contact you're trying to text and click on the 3 dots at the top, you can see there if the contacts blocked

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I think I will take it to the store to have it checked over. Can't find anything going on on my phone. I think it's coming from her end as when I try to text it just disappears and doesn't send, like it's being rejected. Only happens with her. I can't check on my phone to see if she's blocked it. But can WhatsApp her. Totally weird.

Have you actually tried ringing the number rather than just texting?

Dacquoise · 30/05/2021 16:50

Ringing is okay. Only texting that's the problem.

If you can ring the number she hasn't blocked you.
If you were blocked you couldn't ring it and if you sent a text it would still be on your phone it just wouldn't be delivered .
