"All Calls to Voicemail" removed from L?

Either I'm crazy or that option is gone. What a bummer - that was a great way to essentially "block" spam callers.

Any apps that work 5.0 that replicate this?

Phone -> Menu -> Settings -> Call settings -> -> Call forwarding -> Always forward -> On.

Is that what you need?

No. In Kit Kat I created a contact called Spam. It is up to like 10 phone numbers now. There was an option in the Kit Kat People app to send all calls from that contact to voicemail. The contacts app in Lollipop has no such option that I could find :-(

Open Contacts, tap a contact, tap Edit, tap menu.

Is that it?

Well jeez, that was it! Thank you thank you thank you!

Well, on my Nexus 5, contacts set to go directly to voicemail are clearly still checked as supposed to do so but do not. They did for awhile after first updating, then sometimes they would and sometimes they wouldn't and now they never do. As far as I know, no updated\s have been applied to cause these alterations.

Cheers
I have exactly the same contact called "Crappy PPI" not "SPAM" haha.
Knew the option had to be there somewhere

Same issue here. Just had one come in that's on my blacklist, and it rang through anyway. Double checked it, that's the only contact it's in, and yes it's set to go to voicemail. Just doesn't seem to work now.

I thought I was going crazy. This is my first time using a Nexus phone and I setup a "Blocked" contact that I forwarded to voicemail but the calls still ring through.

Where is this setting? I have a nexus 6 and my phone is sending everyone to VM unless they are in my contacts. It sucks since I run my business from my phone.

It looks like it's time to get out the old silent ringtone again.

I always save spam calls as Zspam so they appear at the END of my contacts... especially having over 50 spam contacts saved lol then I don't have to scroll past 50 "s" to get to my "t" contacts

any idea how to get rid of spammers who change phone numbers every 3 seconds, even using local cell phone exchanges to call me?? gets aggravating to get upwards of 3 calls a day from these idiots - offering discounted credit card rates blah blah blah

I don't have call settings, only sounds
