When you block someone’s number on an Android phone:
✅ Their calls no longer ring on your device.
✅ Texts (SMS) won’t show up in your inbox.
✅ BUT — voicemails may still go through!
That’s because voicemail is handled by your carrier (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.), not directly by the phone. The blocked caller’s voicemail usually goes into a separate “Blocked messages” or “Spam” section inside your voicemail app.
? How to Access Blocked Voicemails
1️⃣ Open your Phone app.
2️⃣ Go to the Voicemail tab (or dial into your voicemail box).
3️⃣ Look for a section labeled Blocked messages, Spam, or Blocked voicemails — depending on your carrier.
4️⃣ Some carriers don’t notify you at all, but the messages are still saved in the system.
? How to Stop Blocked Callers from Leaving Voicemails
Unfortunately, Android itself can’t fully block voicemails, because the phone can’t stop what happens on the carrier’s network. But you have a few options:
✔ Contact your carrier and ask for a service like Call Filter, Call Block, or Spam Block — some providers offer paid features to block voicemails.
✔ Use a third-party app (like Google Voice) that manages calls and blocks voicemails more aggressively.
✔ Set up a silent or fake voicemail greeting telling blocked callers you won’t respond.
