if they also have an iPhone they may be able to deduce that you’ve blocked them. This is because of the iMessage text “status” feature on iPhones. When two iMessage users text one another, the message status bar says “Delivered” when the message arrives and the conversation bubbles are blue. When someone you’ve blocked texts you, they will not see any delivery status for their text and their message bubble will turn green.

First things first: people are not notified when you block them. As soon as you block someone on iPhone, they lose the ability to text or call you.

If you have an iPhone and you block the call from the phone app, the caller will hear the phone ring a few times and then it will go to voicemail. The caller won't know they've been blocked. I don't know what happens with other phones or services.
