Are you using a 3rd party app for call blocking or just the built in call blocker from Android

check out YouMail. it blocks a majority of spam calls from getting thru with no voicemails.

i will say this, now that it is politacal season here in the US, more and more political spams are getting thru...most likely because it is not a bot calling, but an actual person.....very annoying

so far i have gotten calls for sanders and blommberg......you guys are not getting my vote. SO STOP CALLING!!!!!!!!! (sorry i had to get that off my chest....i feel better now)

There's been an increasing problem with what's been tagged as 'Ringless Voicemail', something that isn't an actual phone call so conventional blocking services don't apply:

Given our current political climate the FCC is very unlikely to do anything about this matter so try contacting your carrier about this. Hopefully if enough of its customers complain than it might implement some kind of blocking solution on its own.

My Youmail has blocked all spam (maybe campaign?) calls but I'm getting campaign texts. I don't have any text blocker but I don't answer those and use the built in blocker in my texting app (Samsung stock) to block from further texts.

The OP is inquiring about voicemail, not necessarily phone call spam nor texting, so how are blocking ringless voicemail that don't have any phone number?

I was answering Ocnbrze's post not the OP's post. I was just replying about the annoying political texts I have gotten.

yeah that includes voicemail messages. i do not get those save for the very few that squeaks by youmail. those i have to hangup which then goes to voicemail.

i used to get those about once or twice a week. but lately it is more like 4-6 times a week for the last few weeks. these calls are not bot calls, but actual people.....really annoying.
