Why is it possible to receive voicemails from blocked numbers on android phone?
The reason why you can receive voicemails from blocked numbers on android is because when you block a number on your android phone, you only blocked the number on your android phone and not your sim card or sim number.
Let me explain this in a more clearer way.
If you happen to block a contact or number on your android phone names Charles, you only blocked Charles on that your very android phone. However, you only blocked Charles on your android phone and not on your sim card or phone number.
The fact is that if you switch your sim card to another android phone, Charles can still contact you until you block Charles number on the other phone.
What I’m trying to say is that you can only block someone on your android phone or iPhone but not on your sim card or sim number, so it you remove the sim card and switch it over to another phone the blocked number can now reach your phone number.

Are you still confused?
You shouldn’t be and let me further explain the reason why I said yes to the question of can you receive voicemails from blocked numbers on android.
1. Voicemail involves the cellular network service
Talking about voicemail, it requires the cellular network service to set up a voicemail on a mobile phone, and without it you cannot set up a voicemail on android phone and iPhone.
For the fact that blocking a number doesn’t involve the cellular network service other than the phone itself, a blocked number can send a voicemail to you.
Kindly note that blocking a number on your android phone or iPhone doesn’t block voicemail from the number, but instead it will block calls and text messages from that very number. On iphone, it will block calls, text messages and facetime, then one can go ahead to block the person on imessage.
As blocking a phone number doesn’t affect voicemail, the person can send a voicemail to you but only if you enabled voicemail on your android phone. Again, you can chose to reject the person’s voicemail by simply turning off your voicemail.

Can blocked numbers leave voicemails Samsung?
On samsung phone, blocked numbers tends not leave a voicemail because immediately the blocked number tries dial the recipient number, what will be displayed is number busy.
Calls from blocked numbers on a Samsung phone is being auto rejected and there by making the caller into believing that the recipient is busy. From my own observation, blocked numbers can’t leave a voicemail on samsung phone.
I have a Samsung S21 Ultra and blocked calls most definitely can leave voice-mail. When I delete it another one comes from the same blocked number. Turning off my voice-mail is not an option. It’s ridiculous.
