When you block a call on Android, it just automatically rejects the call and the number calls, just as if you hit the reject button. It will go straight to voicemail. The person can leave a message. If you have blocked a number from calling your phone, you can still call it and leave a voicemail.
If a blocked number is slipping through this screen, it is usually some combination of: race condition between the blocking app(let) and the interpretation of the caller-ID = see if there is a better blocking app for your phone. blocked caller-id from the caller = not much you can do.
So now there's a way to get straight into someone's voicemail without actually talking to them or having their phone ring. It's called Slydial. Here's how it works: Dial (267)759-3425. At the prompt, dial the person you want to reach.
If you hear only one ring or no ring at all before your call goes to voicemail, this is a good indication you're blocked. In this case, the person has used the number blocking feature on their phone. If you call once a day for a few days and get the same result each time, that is strong evidence your number is blocked.
No, caller can't tell if you've listened to his voicemail.
Under the Federal Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009, using caller ID spoofing to defraud someone is a crime. Theft of personal and financial information is a crime and should be reported to local authorities. It is generally a good idea not to answer a phone call that appears to be from your own phone number.
Your phone can be hacked by any hacker just knowing your phone number. You don't have to answer anything. They have your number and then they can listen to your phone calls read your texts and even find your location. But yes whether you accept a call or not they only just need the phone number.
Voicemail is not stored on the phone. It's stored in a voice mail server which you dial in to gain access. When accessed it's merely playing a recorded file, so the short answer is no.
So, NO . . . a virus can't be attached to a voicemail, and email, or a television signal. What are the kind of viruses that affect Android and what are the kind of changes I need to look for if my phone is infected?

A blocked number works a little differently. You'll get one ring, then go right to voicemail. You're free to leave a voicemail, although it won't go directly to the recipient's inbox. Instead, there's a separate location for voicemails from blocked numbers.
The history of calls by blocked numbers. The history and content of the messages you recieved by blocked numbers. All the above information you find in call blocking. You are never notified with any of it.
No. Currently there is no known method of remotely hacking an iPhone. much less over a call or voice mail which in and of itself is just an audio recording.
If someone steals your phone number, they become you — for all intents and purposes. With your phone number, a hacker can start hijacking your accounts one by one by having a password reset sent to your phone. They can trick automated systems — like your bank — into thinking they're you when you call customer service.
Have you ever wondered “Is my phone hacked?” Here are some signs: You notice something you don't recognize on your phone (e.g., apps, messages you didn't send, purchases you didn't make, suspicious phone calls); Your phone works slow. It uses way more resources and battery power and becomes hotter than usual.
The truth is, there is no actual phone hacking involved and it is also wrong to call what went on hacking. What's really being discussed is illicit access to voicemail messages. There are a number of possible methods to gain access to someone's voicemail illicitly.
Never call back a number from an unknown caller. If it's important and legitimate, they will leave you a voicemail or contact you via alternate communication.
Originally Answered: Can I still be hacked if my phone is off? Yes and no. If someone gets physical access to your phone then it can be. So if you get your phone jailbroken you allow someone to put all sorts of stuff on there that can be malicious.
