How to Identify and Unblock Blocked Numbers on Your Cell Phone

We've seen an increase in cases where text messages from UNITE show as “delivered” but aren't actually received by members. The most common reason is that the IUPAT Phone number (+1 866-484-7859) may be accidentally blocked on their phones. 

To help address this issue, we’ve created a clear, step-by-step troubleshooting guide for both Android and iOS (Apple iPhone) users. 

This guide walks members through the process of checking for and unblocking numbers that may be unintentionally preventing messages—such as important updates from UNITE—from coming through.
