Turn Off Voicemail On Cell Phones

It should be easy to deactivate the voicemail on your cell phone


Turning off your cell phone's voicemail feature is usually a simple procedure. However, the exact process will be specific to your model of cell phone or cellular provider.


Background


Cellular service providers usually offer a voicemail service as part of their call time packages. The voicemail services are managed by the cellular providers and messages are stored on your provider's systems, rather than on your individual cell phone.


Functionality


In order to turn the service off and on, you may find a feature within your cell phone menus, often within the call forwarding section, that toggles the forwarding or unanswered calls to the voicemail service.


Alternatively, it might be possible to send a command to your cellular provider via your phone keypad (often by dialing a simple sequence of numbers and/or symbols) that will switch your voicemail service on and off.


Support


Call your cellular provider for information on your voicemail service or check any instruction booklets that came with your phone. Alternatively, they may provide a guide to configure your voicemail on their website.
