You cant turn notifications off under options when you call your voicemail?
If you turn off notifications, can't people still leave them, you just won't know they're there?
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.
Have you tried asking your carrier to disable it on your account?
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.
i flippin hate voicemail too
im gonna try that out
thanks sunkast
(if i go camping or on my vacation i'll have to turn it back on! please remind me)
d*mn it someone just left me voicemail!
so i went and looked at the options in the call log menu under call forwarding
if busy
if no reply
if not reachable
change themselves back to the voicemail number after i save it and exit
what can i do sunkast?
kickinitlive - it did the same thing to me, too
Answer your phone, then you won't have any voicemail. :D:D:D
Have your carrier remove voicemail from the account?
^^ 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.
Well that stinks. Why have the option to set Do Not Forward, if it doesn't work...
pick up your calls...problem solved
Yeah, I just tried it myself and it reset back too...
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!
Lol that sounds like it could be funny.
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?
One thing to note is that you still get charged air time on forwarded calls...
Just have your carrier disable the voicemail on your account. I know that Verizon does it.
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.
