Q: Why am I receiving voice messages from a contact that I blocked? They are even being separated in the own category as blocked messages under my voicemail tab!

Why am I receiving voice messages from a contact that I blocked? They are even being separated in the own category as blocked messages under my voicemail tab next to deleted messages! Luckily im not receiving their text messages once I blocked them but why am I still getting their voice mails?

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2

    Because that's the way it works. People you've blocked are not given any notification that they have been blocked. They can leave a message, which is then put in the Blocked messages folder.  If you don't to listen to them, just delete them.

    Oh wow ok thank you I didn’t realize that! Is there any way to just remove the option of even having that blocked messages section cause I don’t want to see when this person is leaving me messages! Can I remove that visual tab from my voicemail screen some how? I have a psycho ex and I don’t want that affecting my new relationship!
