Blocking Incoming Text Msg - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Meditrina · 05-20-2011, 05:30 AM

Does anyone know if you block a certain number from sending you texts, do they know they are blocked? Do they know the message is not being received? I have Verizon and checked all over their website for an answer but could only find *how* to block someone, not what this person would see, or not see.

It's possible the sender would receive a "Message Failed" message, or it's possible the sender wouldn't get anything at all. (Nor would you.)

But if you want to know for sure, I'd call customer service at Verizon and find out.
