How to Know If Someone Blocked You from Sending Text Messages?

As in 2019, the primary text communication sources are basic SMS as well as social media messengers like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. Text messages are the best way to communicate with people silently, even if you are in an official meeting. You can easily start a group chat with your buddies as well as personal chat with individuals. There can be a case in which you may have blocked someone from sending texts due to one and another reason. Another cause can be the opposite, where you are blocked by someone from sending texts and messages. 

If you are not sure why another person is not receiving and sending you messages, then you may wonder if you are blocked or not. It is not that easy to tell whether you are blocked or not on text messages, especially if you are using the built-in cellular messages. Let’s see what can we do to know whether you are blocked from sending texts or not. 
Can You Know If Someone has Blocked Your SMS?
Sad to say that you can’t genuinely tell if your text messages or SMS are blocked or not unless the person tells you about it. If someone has blocked your contact number on SMS or default mobile messages, then your calls will be blocked too. If the person is not replying to your SMS, then it could mean that you are blocked. To get a hint for whether you are blocked or not, you call the person and see if the call can connect to the other party. If your call was not connected due to some reasons, but at the same time other you call another person is connecting well, then it could mean you blocked on SMS. 
If you hear something like “Sorry, It is not possible to connect your call,” then it could mean you are blocked. You could also try to call the person from a different number that is not blocked. This is the best way to know whether you are blocked from sending SMS. 
In the default SMS app on your mobile, there is no official way to tell if your phone number is blocked or not.
SMS vs. Social Messenger 
The SMS or default cellular messages are not designed to tell you whether your messages delivered or not, and it makes it hard to know whether you are blocked by the other party or not. 
However, when it comes to taking about WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, iMessage, and Telegram, then the game changes. They are designed in such a way that helps you see the status of your sent messages such as you can know if the message was delivered successfully or not, Is the message read by the receiver or not and more.
