Can You Block a Number from Leaving Voicemail?
It is possible to block a number from leaving a voicemail. To do this, you will need to contact your phone service provider and request that they add the number to your call blocker list. Once the number has been added, any calls coming from that number will be blocked, and will not be able to leave a voicemail.
Why Can Blocked Numbers Leave Voicemails?
If you have ever wondered why a blocked number can still leave you a voicemail, you are not alone. This is a common question with a simple answer. When you block a number on your phone, it prevents that caller from being able to reach you by phone call.
However, if they try to leave you a voicemail, the process works differently. The blocked caller will still be able to leave you a voicemail because when they call your phone and it goes straight to voicemail, their call is technically never answered by your phone. Therefore, since their call is never answered, the block does not come into play and their message will go through as normal.
While this may seem like an annoyance, there is actually a silver lining. If someone has been repeatedly calling you and leaving unwanted messages, blocking their number will stop the calls but allows you to listen to their messages and decide whether or not to return the call or take any other action. So while it may be frustrating that blocked numbers can still leave voicemails, it can also be helpful in certain situations.
Conclusion
In order to block voicemail, you need to go into your phone’s settings and find the option to block voicemail. Once you have found this option, simply turn it on and your voicemail will be blocked.
