International Roaming & Rejecting Incoming Calls
If I'm out of the US traveling and someone calls me and I don't answer the call will I be charged? If that person leaves a voicemail and I don't call to check my voicemail would I be charged? ...
The villain in this story is DCF (Default Conditional Forwarding) this is a feature in the switch that prevents the customer from turning off conditional forwarding, which normally how calls get sent to voicemail. At one time, T-Mobile didn't have default forwarding to voicemail, like they have now. Even for years after they instituted DCF I was able to get Tech Support to turn it off on my account. That was then. Today, they won't even try to turn it off. This forces the customers to either pay for incoming calls they don't want or go through all sorts of work-around to avoid it.
I've given you some options that I know of. Not sure what else you can do.
