Voice mail from a number I've blocked

Why am I still getting voice mail from a number I've blocked ? I know I can choose not to listen to the voice mail but every time a message is left I get notifications . This is one of the reasons I blocked this person in the first place as my phone was constantly beeping with txts and now it's just constantly beeping with voice mail notifications . And also it seems that this person can just phone me anyway by hiding their caller ID an option apple kindly gave them on their i phone ! Can anyone help with this problem ?

I think the point is, and it is certainly proven true on my iPhone 6+ -- I have blocked a nuisance caller and they have left me 70+ voicemail messages filling my mailbox at AT&T. They did not block their number. Each message in the BLOCKED MESSAGES list indicates the caller's ID.

Who in their right mind would think that I would even want a message from some number that I blocked? Furthermore, I don't give a rats *** if they know I have blocked them or not. I'd love to have a pre-programmed message for blocked callers that says quite simply, "**** off!"

Exact same problem here. I blocked a caller and I don’t receive their phone calls anymore, but they are able to leave voicemails. This makes no sense.
