@Mikio, you are not able to remove it from your plan. But you can setup your voicemail so the caller can't leave a message.

https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/add-an-extended-absence-greeting

Follow the following flowchart to create an extended absence greeting and not let caller to leave message:

[3]Greetings --> [4]Extended Absence --> [2]Record (Inform Your caller that you are not taking any message)

[3]Greetings --> [4]Extended Absence --> [5]Message not allowed after greeting

[3]Greetings --> [4]Extended Absence --> [4]Turn On

Found from this thread How to remove voicemail service?

@Mikio You cannot remove Voicemail. It came free with all plans

You can use this trick as a workaround so people cannot leave you voicemail:

dial *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.

if you need to cancel that, just dial ##004#

No, you cannot disable vmail but use one of the provided options.

I used trick provided by @softech and so far no more spam calls going to vmail.

Mind you NO calls will end up in vmail if you use these tricks.
