Button to send a call straight to voice mail?

[Jezza819]

On my old Galaxy S3 you could send a call straight to voice mail by pressing the down volume button. Does the G3 have a similar feature? I get 3 or 4 calls a day that I don't recognize and instead of just ignoring them, if I could send them to voice mail to see if they are legit enough to leave a message. I have Mr. Number because I do get other spam calls and I also get those unblockable numbers like 0000000 or 43 or something like that.

Try the red button instead of the green answering button when a call comes in. That sends the call to VM.

Swiping it to the left sends it to voicemail?

Yes, it 'hangups' the call and it goes to voicemail. I do that a lot

I've been doing that too but I've always thought it just disconnects the call. But if it does send them to voicemail I guess that proves the calls have been nothing but junk since I haven't gotten any voicemails from any of them.

But I guess there's no effective way to block those odd numbers like 0000000, 43, 043, etc.?

What I did was set up a "Contact" named "Spam" - if I'm getting calls from a telemarketer or robocall etc. I simply save their number to the contact "Spam". In the options menu for this contact I simply check the box "All calls to voice mail" - they don't even ring - ez pz lemon squeezy.

Hey that's cool. Thanks so much for this. Should make my life a lot easier since they would call early on weekend mornings sometime.
