Will SMS messages deliver to a contact that has blocked me

If I’m block and I send a message in SMS instead of iMessage will it go through to their email or go through at all? Because I’ve been told they go ti the recipients email.

Email and messages are two entirely different protocols. A blocked message will not be sent to email, or visa versa.


If your message is blocked by phone number, then you can send them an email or message from your email account. But if they then block that, then short of creating a new email account or getting a new phone number, nothing else you send will get through.
