Blocked a number, still receiving texts. iMessage?

I recently blocked a number (using 1 of the 5 free temporary block spots) from someone who I am getting tired of hearing from. However, the day after, I received texts from them. Why would this occur? They also have an iPhone and it was sent through iMessage. Does the Verizon blocker not block iMessages? If not, then how do block it?
Thanks.

Messages sent through imessage uses the data plan and won't be caught by the Verizon Wireless block.
I would suggest turning off imessage on your phone. This will force all messages to go through the Verizon Wireless network. You might need to adjust your message plan size if necessary.
I don't know if it possible to block someone from sending you an imessage.

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

My iPhone was stolen. The thief is still receiving my iMessages.

My iPhone was stolen last week. I did a remote wipe, but the thief is still receiving my iMessages from other friends with iOS5. I would really appreciate any help.
What I've done:
I called Verizon, and they redirected me to Applecare.
I called Applecare, and they said to change my Apple ID password.
I did this and sent my number an iMessage from my friend's phone; it was delivered and read.
I called Applecare again, and they said to get the ID cancelled through iTunes.
I contacted iTunes, and they said that iMessage is not associated with Apple ID, and cancelling my Apple ID will not stop the stolen phone from receiving my iMessages.
I changed my Apple ID email, password, and billing address in hopes that it would do something to disassociate my Apple ID from iMessage. No luck.
I really don't know what to do now. I don't like that my stolen phone is receiving messages from my friends.
P.S. I've also been sending that ******* obscene messages from my friends' phones.

Why you did not use Find my iPhone and now you would be able to brake hands to this fu*king bast*rd! haha

Why is my Iphone 3gs still receiving texts without having a sim card in it?

My daughter took her sim card out of her iphone 3gs, but the phone is still receiving text messages. The phone works, but is pretty beat up, and she is now using an older phone she has till she can upgrade.
Thanks

Allen is most likely correct. If she is running iOS 5, then they are iMessages. Assuming she's connected to WiFi, she can still use iMessage.
Tell her to turn it off in Settings>Messages. Once she does, the messages should start going to the phone she's actually using.

Still receiving texts on inactvated iPhone 4

I have an iphone 4s. I dropped my phone and had to have the screen replaced. During that week, I inactivated my 4s and reactivated an old iphone 4 to use. After the iphone 4s was fixed, I went online and switched devices and re-activated my iphone 4s. It has been working fine, no probems but this morning I realized that I am still receiving text messages on the iphone 4. Some are duplicates and I'm receiving them on both phones, but some are only coming through on the iphone 4, even when I reply to them on the 4s, they are still coming through on the iphone 4. I followed the directions for activation and did power off the iphone 4 prior to activating the 4s. Any ideas?

it is likely that you are still receiving messages on the old phone because it is hooked up to wifi and is receiving imessages. are you receiving messages from people who do not have iphones?? if so it is a networking issue that has to be addressed by turning off the old device and reactivating the iphone 4 fully... then put the 4 into airplane mode if it must remain powered on ( you can do that through the settings application) then reactivate the iphone 4s and allow it to fully activate. if at all possible turn off the iphone 4 and leave it off for an extended amount of time (1 month+) this has solved the issue for several people i know. good luck!!

If only using wifi, will I still receive text messages and calls from non iPhone users?

If only using wifi (turning off Cellular Data) will I still receive text messages and calls from non iPhone users?

If you have cell service with a text plan, yes.

TS3212 I have removed my pop-up blocker completely and still receive the following error message when attempting to download iTunes: "The file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher".....any ideas?

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Iphone 3 doesn't send or receive text Imessage waiting for activation

my iphone 3 doesn;t send or receive text messages under settings, Imessage is waiting for activation. I have downloaded Itunes again but still doesnt work

Do you have iMessage on? I couldn't send iMessages and still don't know how to fix it. I switched it off and the phone started sending plain "green" SMS.

Verizon iPhone 5 not sending or receiving texts. iMessage worked for a day then stopped or messages were severely delayed.

New iPhone 5 on Verizon will not send or receive texts. In the beginning iMessage worked for about a day and then messages started to be delayed by hours. Eventually even these messages were not being sent. Reset network settings followed by a soft re-boot land still no change. Any ideas?

For iMessage problems, try this:
- Sign out of iMessage
- Reset your network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Sign back in to iMessage
Best of luck.

Change your security questions. Change your Passwords. If you want to be really thorough, change the AppleID to a new email address.

If someone blocks me on iphone can i still receive text messages from the person that blocked me?

Im in a group chat with 5 people (including myself) and everybodys been just saying "oh you got the job?" and i just didnt receive any messages from her saying how was it....im just a little confused...DID she block me or??

The following from http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/09/iphone-call-block-faq/ indicates there currently isn't a way:
I get my iMessages on my Mac. Are those blocked too?
Nope. There’s currently no way to block someone from iMessaging your Mac — the iPhone block feature seems to be tied to the physical device, not your SIM, and not your Apple ID or iCloud account. This also means that even if you’ve associated email information with a blocked contact, the iPhone won’t block their emails.

Certain number not receiving text messages

I've been having a problem with my phone where a single number will not receive any text messages sent from my number. I receive any texts from him without any issue, and we can both call each other as well. I am on Verizon, an iphone 5 with the latest software (7.1). He is on AT&T with an android device. He does not and has never had an iphone on his account, so I know it's nothing to do with iMessage (I have turned iMessage on and off as well to no avail). We have both deleted groupme or other messaging systems that other help threads I've seen online blame as the problem. I have not had this problem with anyone else in my contacts, and it seems to have started out of nowhere.

When you send a message from your phone, is the bubble around the message blue or green? If it is blue, your phone is attempting to send it via iMessage to a phone which cannot access iMessage.
If the bubble is blue, do you get a warning message that the message cannot be sent(or some other message to that effect)? If so, there should be a little question mark/asterisk next to the warning. Touch that and you should get an option to send as an SMS. Do that, but this also points out the fact that you do not have SMS enabled on your phone.
Go into the settings, under iMessage (or Messages, I can't remember which it is) and make sure that send as SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.

How can I view the devices using my cell number to receive texts?

My family has a lot of devices and they all use my apple ID which allows texts to go to all the devices because its registered in my apple id. I think my texts are going to other devices but i dont know which ones. Is there a way to see this without having the device just so i can see a list that is using my cell phone number.
I know how to turn it off but when i do it want to make sure its all of the devices that are turned off from my texts. Also is there any way to make sure that only my phone gets the texts?

Hello nonyabeezwax,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iMessage issues. You may want to consider signing out of iMessage on those additional devices:

How to increase number of received texts in 701 / ...

My text message inbox seems to be set at a maximum limit of 50. How do I change it? There is no obvious control for this in the Messaging > Settings menus. And as usual there is nothing helpful on this issue in the 701 Help guide
Now running a 701, beautiful phone to handle and use...now that it has stopped sending my personal information to Nokia via 360Panel [rolls eyes]

Kalpesh,
it is actually in web dynpro view, I have seen this setting and it doesnt give option for increasing default number of rows in web dynpro application. Table is dynamically constructed in web dynpro implementation and I have the hard time finding out., Any help is appreciated in these lines,
Thanks
