To avoid this, you will have to go to the setting of your phone, then the block list, and find the number to unblock it.
However, this message may also appear if your number is blocked by the person you are sending the message to.
If you are the one who blocked then you can easily undo it by removing the sender from your blocking list. However, if you are the one who is blocked then you will have to ask that person to unblock you.
