What Is Message Blocking on My Android Phone?
Contents

Message Blocking lets you block unwanted messages to and from your phone.

What does it mean when you get a message blocking is active?

When “message blocking is active” displays when you attempt to send a message on your phone (Android, iPhone & T-Mobile), it means that you have blocked your phone from sending messages to the contact or the recipient has added your phone number to block or blacklist.

How do I turn off message blocking on my Android?

Try going to the App Manager, tap Menu>Show System, select the stock Messaging app, and Clear Cache. If that doesn’t help, you could also try Clear Data (not sure if this will erase any saved messages — I think it won’t, if there’s a separate app called Messaging Storage).
