Block Numbers question

[Tallman]

Hi all, under the phone settings. There is a feature called Block Numbers. I did added couple spam numbers there. However, these guys never gave up. They keeps calling my numbers everyday. My problem is the call forward to my voicemail. This is very annoying. I am wondering am I able to hang up on them? Or you guys using some amazing apps that can do the trick? What you guys use or how to block these spam callers? Thanks!

Go to Dialer, 3 Dots, Settings, MORE settings, call forwarding. You can set that when you decline a call, there is no forwarding to anything

Unfortunately, I do not have decline call and not forward to. Please look at my call forward options.

@Tallman, I got a call from a telemarketer, the number came up on my call display, when I hung up there was a circle with a slash in it. I tapped that circle and received a pop up that said I will no longer receive calls or messages from this number. The phone number is now blocked.

I understand what you're trying to do @Tallman
You want the blocked calls to not go to the voicemail. Unfortunately, there is no way to do it directly. The only way it can be done is by the carrier. That's why in USA carriers charge money per month for call blocking, as they can stop blocked calls from spamming up the voicemail after its rejected and no app can do that.
However, there's a tricky way. You can download a call blocker app that has receive and hangup function i.e Call Blocker LLP. It will then receive and hangup the blocked numbers, that way bypassing the voicemail. It's not a perfect way, but it's a way.
Hope I helped :)

Select one of the 3 ( I think Unanswered is declined) and tap on it. Then tap on disable

@CHMultimedia, missed call also is unanswered. If I not forward to VM, I am really missed the call from other people.

@RichMan, I couldn't find the Call Blocker LLP from play store. Is it only available in US?

@Jayman1973, That block icon is the Block Numbers feature. Yes, it won't shows again. But it forward all blocked numbers to my VM.

Hehe, got the app name wrong 😂
It's called 'Call Control'.

Thanks, I will try.

you can opt out in Canada https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/en no one has called me since, the only people that call are the ones that I gave consent to.
