For T-Mobile, you can remove voicemail all together. You have to call in. So it stimulates that the phone number is bad and gets removed from calling lists.

I got a new phone a year ago and didn't bother setting up the voicemail. It's outdated, just text me.

Even with that, the bots know it's a real number. If you call T-Mobile and tell them to delete voicemail all together, the phone rings and rings and then it does a Click and hangs up.
