i hate getting voicemails... is there a way to get rid of the option of people leaving them without having your inbox full?

[DearFloyd]

You cant turn notifications off under options when you call your voicemail?

[Flurrycat]

If you turn off notifications, can't people still leave them, you just won't know they're there?

[kaayleighhhh]

my notifications are already off anyway but i still keep getting voicemail

when people call i just don't want them to be able to leave one.

[Flurrycat]

Have you tried asking your carrier to disable it on your account?

[sunkast]

I'm not sure if this will do exactly as you wish but it's the closest thing I can think of.

Press the green call button > Press menu > Options > Call Forwarding.

It will take a moment to load, but then you will get a screen that shows Forward all calls and forward unanswered calls. You can change the options for the 3 settings under forward unanswered calls to do not forward.

Or you could forward all of your calls to ... 1.) a disconnected number; 2.) some sort of 3rd party number (directory assistance, movie times, etc); or 3.) your office number where they'll take a message for you.

Answer your phone, then you won't have any voicemail.

[NoMoreWindows]

Have your carrier remove voicemail from the account?

[wabbit]

^^ i agree no more voicemail calls

If someone did that to me, I would purposely use my 1000+ rollover mins and keep that call going forever!

Forwarding to 3rd party vm uses minutes if it's not nights or weekends.

[sunkast]

Well that stinks. Why have the option to set Do Not Forward, if it doesn't work...

[TheAznBradPitt]

pick up your calls...problem solved

Yeah, I just tried it myself and it reset back too...

[kickinitlive247]

okay update
i changed one of the forwarding numbers to my buddys number
lets see if he notices
oh and this time it took, when i went back in to the options after saving, it was still showing his number on all three options
this is gonna be a good prank considering he is the one who leaves me voicemail...maybe next time he will leave himself voicemail
lmmfao!

[sunkast]

Lol that sounds like it could be funny.

[VZWBBnewb]

On VZW's email, we have the choice for an extended absence greeting. When you call into your VMX, do you get an option to turn on/off your VMX?

[aacurve]

One thing to note is that you still get charged air time on forwarded calls...

[crashovrride]

Just have your carrier disable the voicemail on your account. I know that Verizon does it.

[kickinitlive247]

I could have vm disabled but I'm gonna roll with it for now! I don't worry about my minutes. Since I've been working at night I hit about 100 minutes per month out of 1000.
Works perfectly!
Even shows up as whoevers number on my friends phone. He can be my secretary.

Okay, I love that idea!!! That's too funny. I can't wait to find out his reaction.

Nice... I'm still curious why the "do not forward" option doesn't work though.
