When you block a caller, they won't receive a notification. Instead, their calls will be redirected to voicemail or silently blocked by your phone, depending on the device and settings. Text messages from blocked contacts won't be delivered either. To avoid future issues, consider explaining to the person why you are blocking them, if appropriate. This way, misunderstandings can be minimized.
