Blocking spam

Alandee — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 02:23:15 GMT

I get one of more calls a day from 647 344 4454, claiming to be Rogers.

I've blocked it on my pixel. So it goes to voice mail. There is never a message.

Is there no way to prevent that call from going to voice mail, or to have it auto deleted from voice mail.

Can any other telcos completely block a specific number from phone and voicemail?

hi @Alandee

sorry, the block on the phone will let it go to voicemail, there is no way to bypass the Voicemail transfer with the block on the phone

Sadly Public Mobile doesn't not have that option. Telus does though. I have select people on my safe list and they get through right away. Anyone else has to enter a code to bypass to me. I think EVERY phone company should have this.

there is actually a trick to do that, thanks to @Nezgar
