FAQ: Android Direct Voicemail
To make a call go straight to voicemail on Android, you have several options. The most reliable method is using Slydial: dial 267-759-3425, follow the prompts, and enter the recipient's number. Alternatively, try the Android Airplane Mode technique: dial the number, tap call, immediately open Quick Settings and enable Airplane Mode before the call connects, wait 5 seconds, then disable Airplane Mode. Some carriers support direct voicemail access codes (like *86 followed by the phone number for some Verizon lines), though these vary by provider.

The success rate of these methods can vary depending on your Android version, device manufacturer, and carrier.
