The number was entered manually from the "Call & SMS" Blocking page.  It is a standard domestic number with the typical xxx-xxx-xxxx forfmat..  I attempted to enter it a second time as xxxxxxxxxx and received a message the number was already in the block list.

Strangely it was blocked on 2/18, 2/19, and 3/12, but on 3/20 it came thru with a slightly different single word message.,

 It is the only number in my blocking list. so I can't compare with other blocking attempts.

I have deleted the original entry, and reentered it again, but not optimistic this will solve the problem.
