Still receiving texts from blocked number.

I have blocked a phone number (on my iphone SE) but I am still receiving texts from them, albeit without notifications. Is there a way to not receive the texts at all.

No, however, newer versions of iOS will put blocked texts in a separate list.


Another possibility: Do you have a lot of blocked numbers? If it is more than 3,000 only the first 3,000 will be searched.
