Does this mean I’m blocked?

My ex sent me an email with his phone number, I sent a text message last night but it said not delivered. I tried again and it still said not delivered. Does this mean I am blocked?

could do but odd as you were given the number. have you got WI-FI signal

BansheeOfTheSouth · 09/03/2025 13:41

Email him.

LemonNLimes · 09/03/2025 13:56

I did email however just wanted to know if he had initially blocked me

You’d better ask him. There are other explanations for a text not being delivered.

My phone says that when I've got no signal.

LemonNLimes · 09/03/2025 14:31

He'd probably deny it. A text would still go through if a phone was off though surely?

Have you tried ringing the number, what did he email say

LemonNLimes · 09/03/2025 14:46

No I didn’t call as we don’t speak on the phone usually so that would be weird.

Could be no service or a wrong digit.

It would give you an idea if you were blocked, either number available or straight to ansaphone, why did he give you his number if he doesn't want contactà

LemonNLimes · 09/03/2025 15:25

It was me who said not to contact, so I think he blocked me after that. I already had his number so definitely the right one.

Drip feed. Yes you will be blocked. Why are you contacting him when you told him not to contact you. Stop playing games. Delete his number and move on.

It’s not a drip feed I’m only wanting to know if I’m block! Nothing more

My iPhone does that if my signal drops, also if someone has a phone on a different network sometimes.
Text messaging isn’t as reliable as something like WhatsApp to know what’s going on.

lnks · 09/03/2025 17:14

Why does it matter? He is your ex.

LemonNLimes · 09/03/2025 17:17

Didn’t realise I couldn’t ask a question

Have you tried looking up the number on WhatsApp?

gamerchick · 09/03/2025 17:22

Click on the not sent and send it as an SMS.

LemonNLimes · 09/03/2025 17:28

I sent it as a sms we don’t have each other on WhatsApp

Yea you're probably blocked after you told him not to contact you.

You don't need to have someone on WhatsApp, if you have their number and they have WhatsApp you can see them / contact them (unless you're blocked 🤔)

Seems like a reasonable explanation, and a perfectly normal thing to do.

Yes however he has emailed me with his number if you read the thread so what would be the point of that

You already had his number, so you said, so there was no point.

To see if he can still reel you in.
