Can you fully block voice mails from 5.1.1

The infamous 5.1.1 area code!

Yes, it is possible to block voice mails from 5.1.1, but it may require some technical effort and configuration. Here are a few methods to help you achieve this:

Method 1: Block calls from 5.1.1 using your phone's settings

  1. Check your phone's settings for call blocking or call filtering features. This may be found under "Call settings," "Call blocking," or "Call filtering."
  2. Look for the option to block calls from specific area codes or numbers. Enter 5.1.1 in the field provided.
  3. Save the changes and test the feature by calling your own number from a different phone to ensure the block is working.

Method 2: Use a third-party call blocking app

  1. Download and install a call blocking app from the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).
  2. Configure the app to block calls from 5.1.1. This may involve setting up a custom block list or using a pre-built list of known spam numbers.
  3. Enable the app's call blocking feature and test it by calling your own number from a different phone.

Method 3: Use your phone service provider's call blocking features

  1. Contact your phone service provider (e.g., Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) and ask about their call blocking features.
  2. They may offer a service that allows you to block calls from specific area codes or numbers, including 5.1.1.
  3. Follow their instructions to set up the block and test it by calling your own number from a different phone.

Method 4: Use a virtual phone number or VoIP service

  1. Consider using a virtual phone number or VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service that offers call blocking features.
  2. These services often allow you to block calls from specific area codes or numbers, including 5.1.1.
  3. Sign up for the service and configure the call blocking feature to block calls from 5.1.1.

Please note that while these methods can help block voice mails from 5.1.1, they may not be 100% effective. Some calls may still get through, and you may need to monitor your voicemail regularly to ensure that the block is working as intended.
