I’m concerned that anyone I did not put on my contact list may now be gettng blocked.

Call a few of your contacts and ask them to call you, as a test. Good reason to say hello to folks with whom you have not talked in a while, too.

Here's the exact wording you should use when texting your friends:

Dear Friend,

Blessings be upon you!

I is hoping all is well with you there in < name of country > .

I need you to try to test me - just as a text!

Warmest greetings,

Your Friend

That should do the trick!

Regards,
