When you receive the message “unable to send message message blocking is active,” it means that your phone’s message blocking settings are enabled. These settings prevent you from sending or receiving messages from certain numbers, either those in your contact list or new numbers that you want to text.
This is designed to keep you from receiving potentially unwanted or dangerous texts, but can also prevent you from sending and receiving important messages. To remedy this issue, you can turn off message blocking in your phone’s Settings or contact your carrier to have them remove the blocking feature.
Why is my phone saying message blocking is active?
Message blocking is active on your phone because of a variety of factors. It could be happening because of the settings on your phone, or it could be due to your wireless carrier or network provider.
Your phone could be set to block incoming text messages. For example, you may have put a block on text messages from unknown numbers, or blocked text messages from certain contacts. To check this, open the settings app and browse the messaging options.
Your wireless carrier or network provider could have blocked you from sending and receiving messages due to unpaid fees, canceled service, or a violation of terms of service. If this is the case, you will need to contact your wireless carrier or network provider to resolve the issue.
Message blocking can also occur if the person you are sending messages to has blocked your number or changed their settings to not receive messages from you. In this instance, you won’t be able to send messages until they unblock your phone number or change their message settings.
How do I remove message blocking?
To remove message blocking from your phone, you will first need to contact your wireless provider or carrier. Depending on the type of service you have, different procedures may be needed to have message blocking removed.
Generally, a customer service representative will be able to help you with this process. If you are unable to speak to a customer service representative, you may need to look through your device’s settings to locate the message blocking option and disable it.
Another type of blocking that may be enabled is short message service (SMS) blocking. To disable this, you’ll need to look in your phone’s settings to locate the SMS blocking option and disable it.
Finally, if you are using an iOS device, you may need to enable the iMessage service in order to send messages. To do this, go to “Settings”, tap “Messages”, tap “Send & Receive” and enable the service.
This may differ from device to device and depending on what software version you’re using, so you may need to refer to a customer service representative to get specific instructions.
Once you have followed the appropriate steps to disable all forms of message blocking, you should be able to send and receive messages normally.
How do you know if an iPhone message is blocked on an Android phone?
If you are trying to determine if a message is blocked on an Android phone, there are a few key signs that can indicate that a message is blocked. Firstly, if the message has been sent but the recipient hasn’t received it, even after a significant amount of time has passed, this can be an indication that the messages have been blocked.
Additionally, if the messages appear with only one check mark rather than two, this can be another indication that the message has been blocked. Furthermore, another sign that a message may be blocked is if there are delays in the delivery of messages or if the messages are not being delivered at all.
Finally, if the recipient’s profile picture has disappeared from the conversation and their name is grayed out this could also be an indication that the message has been blocked.
Why can’t I get my messages?
There could be a few reasons why you are not able to get your messages. The most likely reason is that there is an issue with your network connection. It could be a connection problem, or your device might not be connected properly.
Another potential reason could be that you have a data limit on your device, and you have reached it, or that your phone is full and needs more memory. It could also be that the message you are trying to receive is too large, or that the person you are trying to receive it from is blocked.
In rare cases, it could be an issue with the messaging app itself. It is best to start by checking your connection and memory availability, and then to see if you are blocked by the user sending the message.
If none of these are the issue, then you may need to reinstall your messaging app or go to your network provider for further assistance.
