How do they do THIS?!!?

Every so often, I get an unwanted marketing text or a call on my mobile 'phone.

All are faithfully reported here:

Most recently from Action Claims Direct on 07005140260. Who are now blocked but not before they woke me up during the day.

I work nights, before you ask.

However, what is irritating me is how the last call got through to voicemail.

There was a brief ring, then it went dead. Then I received a notification about a voicemail.

How do they do that?

i haven't set my phone to go straight to voicemail so how did they get there without me ignoring the 'phone for a few rings at least?

Just when I think I'm getting a little more tech savvy, they do this...:o

Perhaps you mobile phone temporarily lost contact with the network after the first ring or there was a network error.

Voicemail is a computer message.
Is it not the same as a phone call going to an answeirng machine.
You may find your phone is automatically set to divert after one ring . You should be able to change that or switch voicemail off.

We sometimes receive voicemails from couriers advising is about delivery. Have also received one to advise when a click and collect order was available in the shop.

Could it have been ringing longer than you realise before you woke up?

I hear you, but this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened.

Witheld numbers have done this as well whilst I was awake.

I hate witheld numbers and have blocked all of them now...:mad:
