FAQs
When you block someone's phone number on your iPhone, what happens?
When you block a number on an iPhone, the person who is calling from that number will not be able to reach you. If the person tries to call you, their call will not go through, and they will hear a message saying that the call cannot be completed as dialed. Additionally, if the person tries to send you a text message, the message will not be delivered, and they will receive a notification saying it was not delivered.
What happens when someone tries to send you a message from a phone number you've blocked?
If someone sends you a message from a number you have blocked on your iPhone, the message will not be delivered, and the person who sent the message will receive a notification saying that the message was not delivered. The notification will depend on the type of message sent and could be something like "SMS send failure" for a text message or "iMessage not delivered" for an iMessage.
What happens when someone tries to FaceTime you from a blocked number?
If you have blocked a number on your iPhone, the person who is calling from that number will not be able to reach you, and any calls or messages they try to send will not be delivered.

When someone who has been blocked tries to call you using FaceTime, their call will not go through, and they will hear a message saying that the call cannot be completed as dialed.
Overall, someone cannot contact you using FaceTime from a blocked number because blocking a number on an iPhone prevents the person who is calling from that number from reaching you.
