Blocking Unknown Callers from calling OR leaving voicemail
I have never accepted any phone calls from people who have their Caller ID off. The ones who block Caller ID from showing those they call, any names or phone number of the caller. However, they can still leave voicemail. I just want to read or listen to voice mail from those I know. Is there a way to block unknown callers from leaving voicemail?? I already tried Robokiller, Spam Shield and Call Control. Any help??
by the way max unknown numbers according to Android aren't numbers block able bya 3rd party app that bcan block non contact numbers

Don't know why TMobile doesn't make the above **67*1+ac+number# thing more visible so more people can reject blocked calls from going to voicemail.
Also goto call blocking settings and turn on block unknown numbers. But remember this setting doesn't block non contact numbers which you need to manually block.
Hope this helps you all out
How do you turn off that feature?

Definitely need to know how to turn off feature?! Number Barn doesn't have my information. Almost like the **67* is a back door entrance into the feature. States that barndoor is in control but no reference on barndoor website. Phone is finicky now i.e. dropped calls, sent messages duplicated and tripled, missed calls, unavailable almost like airplane mode is turned on when it's verified not to be. T-Mobile is no help for this issue. Regret dialing the number now. Had a female that was harassing family, blocked her number and she was able to leave VM. Was at wits end and frustrated, now its even more frustrating lol. Send help please

IIRC you cannot block those unknown numbers from leaving voicemail

I guess my choices is either to disconnect my voicemail so nobody can leave voicemail OR change my phone number. I will think about this. Thanks for your response.

Does that code block ALL unknown numbers?? I will try it! Thanks!!

the **67* thing just sets up your account to block blocked calls from leaving voicemails by setting call forward when busy to the new number I posted after the **67*.
You need to try out 3rd party call blocking apps from play store to see which app blocks unknown nnumber meaning if you find one on play store that does what you need then those blocked numbers will be sent to the new non voicemail number.

I have tried several and all they do is block their phone calls but sends them to voicemail. I don’t want unknown callers to leave voicemails. That is what I am after. If you have suggestions on this, I would appreciate it.

You need to find a 3rd app that blocks all unknown numbers.
The **67* thing with number I posted only sets account call forwarding when busy to block any internal reject list oe 3rd party app blocked numbers from leaving voicemails. If 3rd party app has a unknown number block then they will be blocked by the app it self.
Let me know if you found a app that blocks unknown numbers .

This thread is stupid and doesnt make sense. The info given about * whatever just fwds calls when busy, so all your calls you don't answer go to who knows where...dumb
