๐กJust learned that blocking a caller on android doesn't block their voicemails๐ก
How fucking stupid is that? Sorry, but not having a good morning. This is like when I found out you can't set the number of rings either. Sometimes I just want to smash all my tech and go back to rocks, sticks, and leaves.

in reply to hedge • • •Blocking a number on you phone just tells the phone to hide the incoming call not the carrier. The call rings through unanswered and then the carrier routes it to voicemail like any other call.
You would need to block the caller at the carrier. Most have some kind of block list you can enable. The alternative would be a non-standard dialer app that, rather than hiding the incoming call, would pick it up and drop it. I don't know if such software exists.
Edit: dialer not diaper.

What I'd prefer is a standardized API where the block is done at the carrier.
