Selective voicemail

[PMS1969]

Hi. I'm looking for an app which will block certain callers from voicemail - so anyone can call but those on the list just get ringing and never diverted to voicemail while others get voicemail if not answered. Has anyone seen an app like that?

I don't think that's possible as the voicemail is handled at the carrier end.

What you can do however, is to have an app looking for that certain number.

when it appears, it does a Connect/Disconnect....

wallah! no Voicemail from them.

You can also have the Carrier blacklist that number for you, but that gets expensive.

Just search for "call blockers" in the play store.

Thanks. I don't want to block the number, just not have them diverted to voicemail so they just get the ringing tone.

Some of them do that but they are found under call blocker....
You just have to do some research.

I agree. And what you're asking for is highly unusual. You might want to look at (porting your number to) Google Voice. It can't block specific callers from leaving a message, but it can send those messages right to the trash.

Just out of curiosity, why would you want somebody to be able to call and talk, but not be able to leave a message?

Extreme Call Blocker has those options.

Extreme Call Blocker has those options.

Impressed me a lot: don't need the app, but wow, what a developer.

and, as you said, it has a lot of features:

Call Blocking Modes
* Send to voice mail
* Pick up-and-hang up: prevent the caller from leaving you any voice mail.
* Mute only: only mute the ringtone on your side.
* Allow call but no voicemail: allow call to ring as normal but no voicemail allowed.

* In-Call-Popup, let you pick up-and-hangup on a call and add the number to blacklist directly when call is ringing
