The ability to circumvent communication blocks implemented at the device or carrier level using alternative messaging applications is a common query. Specifically, users often inquire whether services like TextNow can successfully transmit messages to a recipient who has previously blocked the sender’s primary Android number.
The underlying mechanism of blocking typically operates by filtering incoming communications based on the originating phone number. This action prevents calls and SMS messages from reaching the intended recipient. However, application-based messaging platforms may utilize different communication channels and number assignment systems, creating potential workarounds.
