Can't send contact straight to voicemail on note 8

[Android Central Question]

I have tried and tried to find an option on my note 8 to send a specific caller to voicemail. I tried edit contact, etc. There is no option other than to block. I do not want to block. Please help. Thank you

Welcome to Android Central! It shouldn't be in the Edit screen -- it should just be in the menu specific to that contact. So if you open Contacts, select that contact, and then tap the Menu button at the upper right, you don't see a "Route to Voicemail" option?

Looks like that option is gone. I can't find it either.

The 3 dot menu doesn't offer the option.

Is there a Block Numbers option in the Phone app's settings?

looks like you can only send a live call to vm; not a setting other than that for my VZW n8. good luck
