Can you keep voice mail from certain callers

Yes, it is possible to block or restrict voice mail from certain callers. Here are a few ways to do so:

Method 1: Block specific phone numbers

Most phone service providers, including landline and mobile carriers, allow you to block specific phone numbers from leaving voice mail. Here's how:

  1. Log in to your phone service provider's website or mobile app.
  2. Go to the "Voice Mail" or "Call Blocking" section.
  3. Add the phone number you want to block to the "Block" or "Do Not Disturb" list.
  4. Save the changes.

Method 2: Use a call blocking app

There are many call blocking apps available that can help you block unwanted calls, including those that leave voice mail. Some popular options include:

  1. Nomorobo: A call blocking app that can block robocalls, telemarketers, and other unwanted calls.
  2. Truecaller: A call blocking app that can identify and block unwanted calls, including those that leave voice mail.
  3. Hiya: A call blocking app that can block unwanted calls, including those that leave voice mail.

Method 3: Use a voice mail box with advanced features

Some voice mail boxes, such as those provided by business phone systems or advanced home phone systems, may have advanced features that allow you to block or restrict voice mail from certain callers. For example:

  1. Some business phone systems allow you to set up a "Do Not Disturb" list, which can block voice mail from specific callers.
  2. Some advanced home phone systems allow you to set up a "Call Screening" feature, which can block or restrict voice mail from specific callers.

Method 4: Use a third-party service

There are also third-party services that can help you block unwanted calls, including those that leave voice mail. Some popular options include:

  1. NoMoRobo: A service that can block robocalls, telemarketers, and other unwanted calls.
  2. YouMail: A service that can block unwanted calls, including those that leave voice mail.

It's worth noting that while these methods can help block or restrict voice mail from certain callers, they may not be 100% effective. Some callers may still be able to leave voice mail, depending on the specific features and settings of your phone service provider or voice mail box.
