Blocked caller still leaving voicemails

[Skelton]

A 020 number has been calling me and leaving voicemails, I blocked the number however they are still able to leave voicemails. I’ve sent a text to say they have the wrong number but it’s possible this isn’t a mobile user. Please help

More than possible; it's certain that a 020 no. is a landline. But so what? Landlines can receive texts either directly or as Text to Speech.

This is normal. Blocking a number prevents your phone from ringing an incoming call from them, or receiving a text message.

An incoming call that is blocked, will divert straight to voicemail - the caller will be able to leave a message if they so desire.

So how do I stop them from being able to leave voicemails? 

[Skelton]

From the voicemails it sounds like an elderly man so I’m not sure he’s going to be able to figure out how to receive a text on his landline. I just want to know how I can stop him from continually ringing

If he knows nowt about texts on a landline he won't have set it up & so it'll ring him & present him with a Text to Speech.

You can't stop someone from calling you, neither can you stop callers leaving voicemails. Aside from asking the person in question, and them following your instructions.

You can stop calls from blocked numbers from ringing on your phone, which is what's happening.

Is there really nothing anybody can suggest? The phone calls have continued for the last 5 days. Always around the same time. I have answered the calls and told the person they have the wrong number, the person on the other end of the phone sounds like an old confused man who responds “sorry I’m so sorry” when telling him he has the wrong number however the calls and subsequent voicemails have continued. EE have said there is nothing they can do but this is really becoming unnerving.

No network operator can stop an individual from calling your number, unless you want to take the malicious calls route - and potentially involve the Police.

Will the person still be notified if I sent them a voice message if I’m blocked?
