Blocking Unknown Callers from calling OR leaving voicemail
I have never accepted any phone calls from people who have their Caller ID off. The ones who block Caller ID from showing those they call, any names or phone number of the caller. However, they can still leave voicemail. I just want to read or listen to voice mail from those I know. Is there a way to block unknown callers from leaving voicemail?? I already tried Robokiller, Spam Shield and Call Control. Any help??
by the way max unknown numbers according to Android aren't numbers block able bya 3rd party app that bcan block non contact numbers
The code I posted above works for numbers blocked and I have unknown numbers blocked on my device and never ever got a call from a unknown number

Like I said, they block them from CALLING but NOT from leaving VOICEMAIL. I want to stop them from leaving Voicemail. I have a couple of people harassing me that leave voicemail I don't want to hear. I already have them blocked from CALLING. Do I need to disengage voicemail too so nobody can leave me voicemail?

The errors are a problem with Tmobiles service off and on but I've found doing this off and on it goes thru and gets set up.

You need to find a 3rd app that blocks all unknown numbers.
The **67* thing with number I posted only sets account call forwarding when busy to block any internal reject list oe 3rd party app blocked numbers from leaving voicemails. If 3rd party app has a unknown number block then they will be blocked by the app it self.
Let me know if you found a app that blocks unknown numbers .

I have tried several and all they do is block their phone calls but sends them to voicemail. I don't want unknown callers to leave voicemails. That is what I am after. If you have suggestions on this, I would appreciate it.

You need to try out 3rd party call blocking apps from play store to see which app blocks unknown nnumber meaning if you find one on play store that does what you need then those blocked numbers will be sent to the new non voicemail number.

**67*18445865686# entered into phone dialer sets blocked numbers internally or from 3rd party apps to disallow then from leaving voicemails trust me I use this on my phone.
Don't know why TMobile doesn't make the above **67*1+ac+number# thing more visible so more people can reject blocked calls from going to voicemail.
Also goto call blocking settings and turn on block unknown numbers. But remember this setting doesn't block non contact numbers which you need to manually block.
Hope this helps you all out
Does that code block ALL unknown numbers?? I will try it! Thanks!!
