As Far as I know you can't unblock a number from your phone. You would have to ask the person your texting to unblock themselves. It could also mean that the person dosn't have texting. I hope this helps.

Albert,
Try dialing *82 before the #.
That's what I have to do.

Can anyone tell me what I have to do to reset my voicemail password? I think I messed up when I entered it the first time. Do I have to contact Verizon or is there some way I can do it through my pnone? I have a Verizon LG.

I am well over 50 and I have been texting since you were able to send texts. Not only that I have been teaching teenagers how to text for years. Comments insulting us senior citizens not welcome.
