I would like a blocked caller to know their calls and texts are blocked but have the option to be notified if they try. If you have a stalker or angry ex who keeps calling and leaving messages, that can be good and bad. Bad because you're being harassed. Good because you can take evidence of repeated calls to the police and hopefully put an end to it. For the chronic caller trying to sell you life insurance, best if they're completely blocked and know it.

C DM, I would think a stalker, for example, would just keep leaving voice mails. Then, when you checked legitimate messages after being notified you'd see them. You could not listen and delete, but it still would be annoying.

I think the point some of us are making here is that allowing a blocked caller to leave voice mails that are "disturbing" is actually not blocking he caller from reaching you. If someone wants to harass you this way, you can't stop them.

Totally agree. There could be times when you would want to know if someone is crazy or dangerous enough to repeatedly call and leave messages. Theoretically, if an angry ex or stalker thought you ere blocking their phone calls, they might start showing up at your door or workplace, etc. In which case, it becomes a legal issue. And, as I've mentioned elsewhere, it could be valuable to have all those saved voice mails if you did need to go to the police.
