Disable Voicemail

Thank you for this!  My problem was blocked calls were going to VM and filling it up, and I felt I had to erase them - so now with your solution, they may still go there, but doesn’t bother me anymore.

This is awesome. Now I've changed plans I can direct callers to my line with unlimited calling and not waste minutes calling voicemail on my $15 Plan phone. This will be useful for many people on a limited outgoing call plan. Thanks

You can retrieve voicemails using a different phone.

I do the same thing. My Extended Absence Greeting tells the caller I don't take messages and to call a different phone that only people that know me would know. Then it hangs up. Some day I'll get around to adding a bit about otherwise texting me on the number.

Followed the instruction and worked as expected.

Great. Solves the problem of all the spam calls we get nowadays too.

Thank you for being such a helpful person in this community. I include in my greeting for my callers to "Please text me at my xxx-xxx-xxxx phone number." This is to let them know that I prefer to receive text rather than a call.

The reason is I usually take the public transport and I do not enjoy taking a call in a crowded bus or train.

Just a personal preference

@Respublica  That was exactly my problem trying to link the voicemail set up map on a crowded bus this afternoon. Just gave up and left a slightly lame search bar solution.

Works like a charm - thanks!
