How do you GET voicemails from a blocked number?

Voicemail is a feature on YOUR phone that allows callers to leave messages that YOU retrieve.  Are you saying you are getting (ghost) calls from blocked numbers that then plays the voicemails for you?

I blocked a phone number thru activearmor which  apparently sends this caller directly to my voicemail. I do not want a voicemail from this caller.

Hi @Izzycat60, let’s get the help you require on voice mail.

To answer your question, we do not have an option to stop voicemail from blocked numbers.

This helps you to block calls from your call log, contact list, or manually.

  1. Fraud calls: This is automatically set to Block for your protection. You can choose to flag these calls or send to voicemail.
  2.  Nuisance calls: This is automatically set to Enabled. You can choose to flag, block, or send to voicemail each category. Categories include Political, Spam risk, Surveys, Nonprofit, Private calls, Telemarketers, and Account services. Categories were based on complaints and feedback.
  3.  Unknown callers: This defaults to Allowed. You can also choose to send to voicemail.

Check more information on Active Armor.

Hope this info helps.

Thank you for contacting AT&T Community & Forums,
