On iOS, after you send a text, you'll usually get one of two notifications right underneath your message: "Delivered," or "Read." The former means that your text message went through, but the recipient hasn't read it yet. Text messages can provide some clues about whether or not a person blocked you, although it's a more reliable method for iOS than it is for Android. One other thing to keep an ear out for: a prerecorded message that says the number is "unavailable." The exact message will vary depending on the recipient's wireless carrier, but if a number is unavailable - especially if other phones can reach it - your number is almost certainly blocked. How this works will depend on the phone the call recipient has, or indeed the phone you have if you're getting voicemails from a blocked number. Rather it'll be directed to a location for voicemails from blocked numbers. However, even if you leave a voicemail, it won't go to the recipients inbox.
