Hi @Tanhuu

A very wise user has submitted the following as likely the best way to do this:

dial into your voicemail and log in with your PIN.
In the main menu, press 3 (manage greetings),
then 4 (manage extended absence greeting),
then 2 (record a new extended absence greeeting) and record a message that indicates to your caller you are not accepting messages.
Then press 4 to turn on extended absence
Finally, press 5 to dissallow anyone to leave you a message. Problem solved!

To return to receving inbound messages, should you wish to at a later date:

dial into your voicemail and log in with your PIN.
In the main menu, press 3 (manage greetings),
then 4 (manage extended absence greeting),
then 4 to turn off your extended absence greeting

After doing this, your previous personal greeting goes back into effect automatically, and callers can leave you messages again.

(EDIT: This may be similar to what @Dunkman supplied in the above link ... ) 😉

Another way to completely disable voicemail is to change the voicemail forwarding number in your phone set it to a USA number. Since the phone can't dial USA numbers it the call is not forwarded.

Fyi I have not tried this method in a while

@Tanhuu

*004*8080000000#

This will cause all calls to either ring forever or get fast busy at the point they normally would have been diverted to the voicemail system.

##004# to undo/reset it.

These types of commands are inputted by using the phone's dialer. Also of note is that many of these commands can be implemented from within the phone's menu system.
