Is there a way to disable voicemail?

sorry, VM cannot be disabled. It is a free feature and PM pushes you to use it

@Zeaks, not possible to disable but you can change the number of rings if that helps

Dial this sequence: *61 *16475804001*11 *[then enter number of seconds to wait] # [SEND or CALL].

For the number of seconds to wait - choose from the following options:

For one ring, enter 5.
For two rings, enter 10.
For three rings, enter 15.
For four rings, enter 20.
For five rings, enter 25.
For six rings, enter 30 (This is the maximum number of rings/seconds).

SAMPLE: *61*16475804001*11*20#[SEND or CALL] - sets your phone to ring four times (20 seconds) before going to your voicemail. Best to check mailbox.

HI @Zeaks

the workaround is to use Extended absence

Call your voicemail and log in with your PIN.
press 3 (manage greetings), then 4 (manage extended absence greeting), then 2 (record a new extended absence greeeting)

You can then record a message that indicates to your caller you are not accepting messages.
And now press 4 to turn on extended absence
Finally, press 5 to disallow anyone to leave you a message.

Thanks alot, I'll set it to the max I guess. It's annoying logging on just to delete voicemails.

@Zeaks I haven't tried or heard of @hTideGnow's suggestions but maybe give that a try first to see if it works before changing the number of rings.
