accidentally "blocked" a number I text?

[jef031291]

So I text into a sports radio station a lot, and when I got my new S6, it popped up with a prompt that this number might charge me or something. I had never seen it before but I accidentally clicked block or something. It now pops up "message not sent. message saved. please try again later (425)". The number is not on my block list and I cant find anything on how to unblock it, yet let alone find anything in the settings about what happened. I'm on sprint. It stinks because I like to participate in the radio show! I've went through troubleshooting with sprint and nothings worked.

any ideas?

Did you check your GMAIL Account for the "blocked" indicator? In my Google contacts (web) I see all the numbers I blocked & can manage them online. Else try installing another TEXTING app to see if it's APP-specific? just some ideas. good luck

I think it's a completely seperate blocking issue, it may require a factory reset

try texting "unblock" to the number. Sometimes typing a word can unblock or resubscribe to the number. If it's a radio station, they may have a warning that says "you may receive automatic texts and be charged according to you carrier." maybe you did click something so you won't get charged. Or call into the radio station and ask them if they have a word to type where someone can unsubscribe or resubscribe to their number and maybe they can help. Good luck

Hi Jeff,

Did you ever get an answer to this question? I am having the same issue and my phone provider could not walk me through it over the phone - they advised me to go into the store. I'm hoping it is just something quick that I can do myself. Any help would be great. Thanks!

This exact thing is happening to me.
