Started Nov. 8 & 9th, 5 calls, blocked number using phone. Starting on the Nov. 19th, till now I have gotten 33 calls in 22 days and since the 19th has managed to leave a one second voicemail which then gives that little bell tone that then interrupts me doing whatever I'm doing only to discover that the number that I blocked from ringing the phone has left me a message. Just buzzed again, make that 34 calls in 22 days. Any ideas????? 11-30-2018 01:35 PM
When you block numbers on the device, the blocked caller is sent straight to voice mail and can leave a message. To keep them from leaving a voice mail, you'll need to block the number via My Verizon or Verizon Smart Family. Block Numbers | Verizon Wireless 11-30-2018 01:39 PM
The reason that number can leave a voicemail is because you blocked from the phone. You have to block it from your MyVerizon account online under the Blocks options in order to prevent that number from leaving a voicemail. I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee.
