Blocked Number

Hello, a few days ago I was trying to text a friend of mine and I received an immediate text back that said “We’re sorry, but the phone number you are trying to text has been blocked by your wireless account owner”

 

Doing some research by certain words not being in all caps I assume that my father (who’s the owner of my account and pays my phone bill etc.) has blocked my friends number using Smartlimits. 

 

Although he did this using parental controls I am 18 years old I was wondering if there is a way to unblock my friends number without comforting my father?
