Another data point: A Verizon page offered the feature for free on iphones but charged for it on Android phones. This makes me think it might be part of the iphone/ios since otherwise Verizon would have charged for that too.

EDIT: On my iphone, voicemails are transcribed within the voicemail application; I can choose to read the text or press a button to listen to the message. I believe this is automatic. It seems that with some services, perhaps T-Mobile, that transcription (or a transcription from the provider) is also sent to the user via text. This does not happen with my AT&T service. If the text message is what you are trying to get rid of then it seems you would follow the procedure provided by retiredguy123 except, you would turn blocking ON and not off.

Correct. Turn it "ON" not "OFF". My bad.
