What Happens to Blocked Voicemails on Android?

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.
