Way to view text messages from a blocked number?

I have a number blocked on my iPhone 7 but see in my itemized bill that the number has texted me. The texts are marked as "received" in the bill, even tho I don't get them. Does the sender get notified that the messages aren't being delivered?  Is there a way to view the messages without unblocking the number?

Hi @luvsun,

 

On the bill, received is just the direction the message was going. All it indicates is that the message was incoming to you. As far as the sender receiving any status of that, no, they will not receive any notification that the message was not actually received by you.

 

As far as viewing the texts that were received while the number was blocked, they cannot be viewed as the phone discards them upon receipt.
