Ive been getting calls from one particular phone number 2 or 3 times a day. Reversed looked up the number and it's from a company called irestel inc. I googled that name calling me, it comes up as possible scam. I've blocked the number, but they still make it to voicemail.  They say nothing,  and sometimes i can hear a keyboard in the background.  I added call control,  but there only appears to be adding authorized callers. I took ot off for that reason.  I only want this ONE  phone number to not get through.  I don't want to go through the hassle of adding ALL of my contacts,  or the names in my WhatsApp work group chat...as my co workers can call me through WhatsApp. It's just the ONE phone number that I need stopped how do i stop that ONE phone number?

Unfortunately, there is no way to stop them from leaving a voicemail. The Call Control feature will prompt the system to stop them from reaching you once you add them to the list of blocked callers, but it is all that can be done. https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/call-control

Ok. Thanks. I've already blocked them in my phone settings.

The way call control works is by asking any caller not on the authorized list to dial a particular number to complete the call. Once they do, the call goes through. This makes it very effective for blocking autodialers, but less so if it's an actual person placing the call.
