How Can I Text My Ex If They Blocked My Number?
SpoofCard Blog • November 15, 2017
Breakups are hard; there is no denying that. Through difficult conversations, “he said, she said,” and “trying to make it work,” it’s hard to leave the end of a relationship feeling as though you didn’t get your point across. What’s worse is to be shut off completely by having your phone number blocked by your ex.
We’ve all had bad breakups and bad conversations that have left us in a voiceless place. Admittedly, blocking your ex’s phone number is a pretty liberating feeling, but if you are the one who was blocked… well, that’s a different story. Luckily, there is an easy way to text or call your former partner if they’ve blocked your phone number.
How Your Ex Blocked Your Phone Number on Their Smartphone
It’s likely that your former partner blocked your phone number using their smartphone’s default call-blocking functionality. If your phone number was stored as a contact in their address book, they would have followed these steps:
- Go to “Settings”
- Select “Phone”
- Access the “Blocked Contacts” List
- Select “Block Contact”
- Select contact from address book
How to Tell if Your Ex has Blocked Your Phone Number
You can tell if your phone number has been blocked by your ex in a few ways.
Text Messages
If you are unable to send messages to that phone number only or you send a text message that never shows as delivered, it is very likely your ex has blocked your phone number.
Phone Calls
You can tell if you have been blocked if your calls go directly to voicemail. Although you may be given the option to leave a voicemail, if you do, it is delivered to a designated “Blocked Numbers” folder.
How to Text Your Ex, Even if They’ve Blocked You
The good news is that there is an easy way to text your ex if they have blocked your phone number.
Because your phone number has been blocked, caller ID masking is the most effective way to reach out. Caller ID masking allows you to change your caller ID to send and receive texts and calls from a different phone number than your own.
SpoofCard is the best app to easily send calls and texts from a different phone number. With it, your caller ID no longer holds you back from getting your point across, especially after a bad breakup.
Times You Shouldn’t Text Someone From a Different Number After Being Blocked
Of course, there are some instances where you shouldn’t reach out if someone has blocked your number. Although it’s natural to feel hurt, confused, or curious about why they’ve blocked you, it’s important to pause before you think about texting them from a different phone number.
In many jurisdictions, repeatedly contacting someone after they’ve made it clear they don’t want communication can be considered harassment. If you try to disguise your identity or misrepresent your number, you could even cross into stalking behavior, which carries serious consequences. What might feel like just “wanting closure” could put you at risk of legal trouble if the other person decides to report it. As stated in our Terms of Service, it’s important to familiarize yourself with all local laws in both your area and that of the person you’re trying to contact before using SpoofCard.
Besides the legal risks, reaching out this way can also damage trust. When someone blocks you, they’re setting a boundary. Trying to get around that by using another number ignores the message they’ve already communicated. It may feel like a small thing, but it can come across as disrespectful or even invasive. If they’ve clearly told you they don’t want contact, respect their wishes and focus on moving on. We’ve all been there, but it will get better! Remember: if the relationship is meant to continue, it will happen in a healthy way without bending boundaries.

Summer brings many good things: warm weather, long weekends, road trips, and time with friends and family. Unfortunately, it also tends to bring more spam calls. As you plan your summer adventures, book events, or sell something online, your phone number is often one of the first things people ask for. And once you share it, it’s out there. That leads to the question: Would you rather deal with a constant stream of spam calls… or take control of your privacy? Why Summer Is a Risky Season for Your Phone Number Here’s why privacy matters more during the summer: Travel websites, rentals, and bookings often ask for your number. Online marketplaces and yard sales require communication. Social events, meetups, or business connections create new contact points. You’re more likely to sign up for events, giveaways, or services. All of this increases the chances of your number being shared, sold, or used in ways you didn’t expect. Keep It Simple: Use SpoofCard You don’t need to stop enjoying summer or stop making plans. You just need the right tools to protect your phone number. Here’s how SpoofCard helps: 🔒 Make Calls Without Sharing Your Real Number Use an alternate number when you call. This is great for short-term communication, such as booking something, following up, or dealing with online transactions. 🔇 Skip the Conversation, Leave a Message Need to check in or send a reminder? Use Straight to Voicemail to leave a message without calling. You avoid the back-and-forth; they still hear what they need to know. 📱 Send Texts and Images Privately SpoofCard supports messaging too, so you can reply or confirm without giving away your real contact info. Good for Summer. Great for Everyone. June is also National Internet Safety Month, making this the perfect time to check in on your habits. If you’re a parent, especially around Father’s Day, it’s a great time to discuss protecting personal information. Less exposure means fewer spam calls, less stress, and more time for what matters. Take Back Control This Season Summer is better when it’s uninterrupted. With SpoofCard, you can keep your number private, manage who contacts you, and avoid unnecessary calls. So… would you rather get 10 spam calls a day or be free to choose who reaches you? The choice is easy.
