How to disable Voicemail?

hstraf — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 07:38:09 GMT

Hello,

Does anyone know how to completely disable voicemail? I don't want callers to be able to leave a voice message.

The ideal situation would be if I could play a greeting, but then NOT allow caller to leave voicemail... something like this:

"Hello, you have reached [my name]. Please try calling me again later. Goodbye."

Is this possible?

Record an extended absence greeting and choose the "don't allow messages" (along those words).

Worked flawlessly for me this summer.

Thanks for posting that one, @srlawren.

I know that i have the link on the computer. However, typing on my phone means that I'm not able to pull all the strings in an efficient and timely manner. Sorry.
