Can I read short messages when I refuse to answer the phone?

According to the mobile phone application query, if the mobile phone is set to intercept all incoming calls, the incoming calls will automatically hang up or go to the interception number list. This means that you will not be able to receive incoming calls, but it will not affect the reception of short messages. Even if the incoming call is intercepted, the short message can still be received normally. This is because SMS is transmitted through different communication channels, which is different from telephone. Therefore, intercepting incoming calls will not affect the reception of short messages.
