Block outgoing calls and messages, but allow incoming - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all! First time poster so if I do anything wrong or if this belongs elsewhere, please tell me and I'll move along ?
So im doing a project where we want to receive messages but not be able to send them, so my question is, is there a software that can block or disable outgoing calls and messages to any number, while allowing incoming call and message to be received ?
I'm not sure if this is possible and if not I'd love to hear the theory behind it and why it is so, if not I'd really appreciate any help.

No voice call if receiving text?

Has anyone noticed an issue with voice calls going directly to voice-mail if they come through at the same time as sending or receiving texts?
Background:
I have G-voice installed and running strictly as my voicemail service. This works out well for me as it will send me an email notification of a missed call whereas without it if I have no coverage and someone calls me I would never know about it.
I am a Firechief for an oil refinery and I use the phone as my fire call-out pager too. Its rather important that I get my calls.
I have noticed in the past that people would tell me they called but it went to my voicemail. After installing and using G-voice for voice mail, sure enough when they told me that, I would get a missed call notification from G-voice.
We use a call-out system called Send Word Now that will send me a voice call and a text message together when activated. Apparently is at exactly the same time because when I tested it I would only ever get the text mesage and a missed call notification.
My Question:
Has anyone else noticed this and figured out why? It would seem that with a 4G connection and all the data bandwidth available the phone should have no problem doing both. In fact, I can get plenty of text mesaages or incoming calls if I am already talking on the phone.
Just as an update to my own thread in case anyone searches this oddity. The messaging center today informed me that they know of the issue and ALL phones and providers will act the same way. As in, if you get an oncoming call at the same time you are sending or receiving a text the call will go straight to voicemail.

SMS divert

Hi
Not sure if posted in correct section, apologises if its not.
Im wondering if the following problem can be solved.
I can not receive reception when at work so want to be able to divert text messages to another mobile number while there.
The sender must be able to just use my primary number and if im out of network coverage then the message automatically diverts to another number. This is so people dont need to know two numbers for me and i dont have to inform everyone everytime i go to work.
I know there are some apps on play store that do this but need coverage to divert the message so theres no point in it for my needs. Is it even possible to divert the message out of coverage? Is there a tasker solution?
Obviously phone calls can be diverted easily but can texts.
Any help is appreciated even if to clarify that its not possible when out of signal.
Thanks.
*Even divert to email would be a help*
