How fucking stupid is that? Sorry, but not having a good morning. This is like when I found out you can’t set the number of rings either. Sometimes I just want to smash all my tech and go back to rocks, sticks, and leaves.

      You can reset your voicemail, which on some carriers will result in callers getting the, “This voicemail box has not been set up yet,” outgoing message (which will not let them leave a message). From the quick search I did, it looks like it’s a pretty carrier-specific process, though, so you’ll need to search " reset voicemail" to get anywhere.

      For me, Its the call forwarding option. My Cell provider has a special number in there for unanswered calls. If you forward that to a number that isn’t real all unanswered (and blocked calls) will get a 'this number does not exist" message.

      Be careful with this because real callers and people you know will get the message if you don’t answer.
