Unwanted voicemails

ericatruesdell — Sun, 20 Nov 2022 15:01:57 GMT

For over a month now I have been receiving unwanted spam voicemails from the same number. I have blocked the number but they are still able to leave me daily voicemails. Please help me stop this from happening. I leave my phone turned on for work purposes and these voicemails wake me up most mornings before my alarm even though I have the number blocked. I have seen other posts on here having issues with the same number and it seems to only be associated with Public Mobile Members.

If that will work for you, you can 'disable' voice mail completely but then Nobody will be able to leave a message.

To "disable" voicemail, dial *004*8080000000#

This will cause all calls to either ring forever or get fast busy at the point they normally would have been diverted to the voicemail system.

Whenever you need to reset it back to defaults, dial #004#

@ericatruesdell Yes, unfortunately, blocking a number doesn't prevent that caller from leaving you voicemail or even texts, AFA|A.

Other than disabling voicemail for all callers or changing numbers, you can try to ignore that caller and,hopefully, eventually they'll stop spamming you and move onto another unfortunate victim. Don't bother trying to retrieve your voicemail when you know it's been left by that spammer which will be automatically deleted after 10 days. Even changing numbers will only be a temporary fix and likely you'll start receiving the spam calls sooner or later on the new number.

HI @ericatruesdell PM does not have selective forwarding (ie, cannot forward differently base on number)

Number blocking would not help as the calls will surely routed to VM

You can disable ringer while you sleep, not sure if it is practical as you need it for work purpose (not sure if you are oncall )

and what number was calling you? I don't really any number that only target for PM members

@ericatruesdell If you are on Android, search google play for "Call Control. Call Blocker". I believe they do the pick up, hang up to your chosen numbers thus preventing the call from going to VM.
