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.

How/where/when do you key in that code to disable voicemail?

@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.

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

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 ... ) 😉
