For the past few weeks Terminix has been calling my phone every few days and leaving a voicemail with a promotional message (what's annoying is that the message starts by saying "This is an extremely important message." Uhm. No it's not.)
Anyway, I set up Avast to block the calls from that number, but it just goes to voicemail. This is actually even more troublesome than answering the call because then I have to call voicemail, wait for it to get to the message, and then delete it.
Are any of the apps mentioned in this thread able to prevent calls from being sent to voicemail?
I was thinking about whether or not such a thing is possible, and I think it could be. If an app is able to automatically answer a call from a specific number, and then immediately end the call, the caller would not be sent to voicemail. This could all be done silently and in the background, too, so that the person being called isn't disturbed in any way.
Any thoughts?
