To tell if someone's phone is off or they blocked you, try calling them. If it goes straight to voicemail without ringing, their phone might be off. If it rings once and then goes to voicemail, you might be blocked. Sending a text can also help; blocked texts don't show a 'Delivered' status, while texts to an off phone will deliver once it's back on.
