If you get a notification like “Message Not Delivered” or you get no notification at all, that’s a sign of a potential block. Next, you could try calling the person. If the call goes right to voicemail or rings once (or a half ring) then goes to voicemail, that’s further evidence you may have been blocked.

This was causing iMessage to go nuts. Verify the date and time are correct under Settings > General > Time and Date. If it is, move on to the next step. If it isn’t, correct the time and date manually and then try to verify iMessage again.
Is there an issue with verification on iMessage?

What to do when you get activation error on iMessage?
Toggling iMessage off and back on again can fix a minor glitch that’s giving your iPhone an iMessage activation error. First, open Settings and tap Messages. Tap the switch at the top of the screen next to iMessage to turn it off. Tap the switch again to turn iMessage back on! You’ll know it’s on when the switch is green.
What happens when you sign out of iMessage?
Namely, iMessage will randomly sign you out of your account and you’re kicked back to the login screen when you launch the Messages app. You sign back in and iMessage asks you to choose the numbers and emails you’d like, you click next, and the verification step rudely throws you back to the login screen.
