Yes, blocking a caller on your mobile phone typically blocks them from sending you text messages as well. Most smartphones have integrated features that prevent a blocked caller from contacting you via phone calls, texts, and sometimes even through third-party messaging apps. It’s a convenient way to ensure you don’t receive unwanted communications from the same number across multiple channels.
