The voicemail system has an option called Extended Absence Greeting. Record something like you don't take messages here or whatever you want to say and then you (not the caller) press 5 or something to choose the option to not take messages.

There is no option to fully disable.

I personally don't like the other suggestion as it would give the caller a false sense of there being something wrong with your number.
