Blocked calls go to voicemail after Oreo

After getting Oreo pushed to my phone, the calls all go to voicemail. How do you get blocked call functionality back to the was it was before Oreo? No app suggestions please as I would just like to have it work as before.

Which phone model do you have?

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

I know how important it is to completely block certain callers, RAIDRREP. I'm sorry the functionality has changed since the update. We can certainly lift this up to Google. However, you can add Call & Message Block, free of charge, and block up to 5-numbers. That is not an app. It can be done via My Verizon. You can get all details here: http://bit.ly/RXRlvK

RAIDRREP, software updates are supposed to enhance your services. I can imagine your surprise encountering this issue. Let's try to fix this issue. Can you tell me if this problem has remedied itself in the last two days? Have you tried to power on/off the device? Can we check the device and make sure that the "do not disturb" option is not turned on? Click http://spr.ly/6583DkmQJ . If all is ok here, let's the check call forwarding feature. Click http://spr.ly/6584DkmQK to check and make sure this feature has not been activated. Please advise once you have completed the above steps.

If your call blocking service would allow for 50 numbers then I might consider it

5? Roll the dice and see which I still want blocked - not the way I want to go.

I do not know if it has remediated in the last 2 days. Phone has not restarted since the update.Do not disturb is off as is call forwarding.

Next blocked call that goes to voicemail

Also not so sure about the enhancement of services with this update. Control of notifications got worse and in many cases reset. Perhaps we take OREO off the phone?

Well today has not been any better - blocked calls still going to voicemail.

Any ETA on a fix?
