Can not find send to voicemail option

[PetThePlume]

I have been going mad not being able to directly send certain contacts to voicemail as. I was under the impression that all Androids had this option.
Stock lg ms840 with zv8.
I would appreciate if anyone had any info to help me out. Beers on me (if you're in central fl)

Same here. With my last Android phone I was able to but not with the Connect.....

It wouldn't bother me, but I have debt collectors calling multiple times daily for the last owner of my phone number, which I've had since '05.Tried everything to stop them, even letters. I thought I had the answer when I gave up ios and switched to droid. I hope someone will enlighten us and give me back my sanity!

I have more debt collectors calling asking about ppl I've never heard of too. I tried changing numbers and it's just different collectors looking for different ppl. Lol. Hope you find the answer I think a lot of us would benefit from it.

You can always download a callblocker & block the calls that way.

search the google store for ringo, i use that app to send contacts straight to voicemail doesnt even ring or show i had a missed call. all you have to do is add the unwanted number to your contacts

Thank you, I am trying to stay away from so many permissions and apps that intercept calls. Being that I'm paranoid anyway I can't afford to not recieve a business call. I was hoping that it was just my ignorance to the lg ui that I missed the way to send the calls directly via in phone options.

After the other replies to this posting, I see it's not just me
Thanks to all that responded

Cant seem to find it on Google play.

Can you share a link to it for google play?

the best i can do for you without an app is to block calls from numbers not on your contact list.

menu> settings> call settings> call restrictions> allow calls only from contacts.

Can you usually send the calls to voicemail instead of just blocking them? Certain callers I don't want to simply reject out of hand; I just don't want to talk right now and would like them to leave a voice mail.
