In reviewing my usage, I see the phone has regular 'outgoing calls', all to the same number, but I have not called anyone. Sometimes they are for 30minutes.
I'm not a fan of that dial code technique (and it currently might not work) as it gives the caller an error.
I would suggest calling into the voicemail and setting up the Extended Absence Greeting which then has an option to stop people from leaving messages. You'll still see the "call" in the usage details. But they won't be 30 minutes.
Because my child tried to use the phone and it didn't send multiple texts, and I was texting them from a different phone at the same time, and those texts weren't going through (until later that night they went through), so I was trying to piece together what had happened. I'm still not sure, but while I was checking usage I noticed the outgoing calls.
hi @Bears5 there is no way to block particular number ls going to VM. But you can set to not forward any numbers to VM
Or use the extended absence greeting and turn on the "can't leave messages" feature? The calls will still be forwarded to VM (and will show up in the call log accordingly), but callers can't leave a message. If your extended message says something like: "Please send me a message or e-mail." people (as opposed to bots) know that they have the means to contact you - assuming that they have your other contact information, of course. 😉
Hi @Bears5 because you don't use the phone, when people call you , can be those junk calls, they cannot reach you and got forwarded to voicemail. Those calls will show up on the usage too.
When callers call in and they end up going to voicemail then it looks like a called number from your phone. Are you on the $15 plan and wondering why minutes are declining?
Yes it ends with 4001. But I haven't checked it ever, I don't know how to do it. And I only use the phone as emergency back up phone, most of the time it's so I never even handle it... so strange.
