Turn it off?? Or turn off the irritating as hell calls you back continuously function?

You can set it to deliver a txt telling you there's a msg, and leave you alone. Can't recall off top of head - go into menu (call the voicemail), and fiddle!

Thanks for the really quick response but I mean to completely turn the voicemail off so no messages are taken.

That call back option is the most infuriating thing I have ever witnessed @ 4 a.m. this morning. Please someone tell me exactly how to get this thing off my girlfriends phone. Bear in mind we have no instruction manual and she has told me she thought turning it off wasn't an option.

this thread is a godsend, please please help!

I don't think you can turn the call back option off. You could do as I said above and cancel all the diverts. This way you will never get another voicemail message left.

If it is annoying you so much why don't people phone their network to find out if they can get the callback option removed??

It's a crazy system. And why, when it rings you, do you have to press 2 in order to pick up your message? Can't it just play it?

I agree it is a pain! The fact you have to answer the call before it will stop trying to ring you [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

That's why I killed the diverts.........if somebody wants to speak to me then they can phone back!

to turn the "call you back when you have a message function" off do this

dial 121
press 4
press 3
then select option 2

You should now get a text message if you have a voice mail

Copied, pasted, mailed to girlfriend.

Its her company phone, she's always in meetings so needs voicemail. She's a tad technophobic due to being too busy to be arsed yet shes still moans like **** when it happens LOL

lol reminds me of when I first got my Vodaphone handset.

Phone rang at 2am - caller withheld. Me thinks thats gotta be work calling so I aint gonna answer, press cancel to divert to voicemail. Go back to sleep. Phone rings again - so I do the same. This repeats about 4 times at which point Im like "persistent little *******" and ready to throw phone out of window. I resist and turn it off and get a good nights sleep. Wake up at 7 to get a drink, turn phone back on, go to sleep only for phone to ring 2 secs later - JESUS F*CKING CHRIST leave me alone.

PMSL when I found it was Voda voicemail option. That was soon disabled

LOL excactly.

Call comes in, too busy to answer, reject to voicemail. Then what? oh yeah, voicemail rings you, but I'm TOO ******* busy!!! GO AWAY

The only time I can see a good use for the option is if you want a reminder to grab any voicemail when turning the handset on. But once its on I think I can decide when to grab my messages. LOL its because of her experiences I didn't even consider Vodasoddingfone when I changed contracts.

MarkCSC

Yeah it is a real pain in the ****.
When I was on Cellnet (now O2) it called you once then sent a text message, much better solution if you ask me.

It's only a pain in the arsé if you have your phone set to it and don't want it.

A bad workman blames his tools, just change the settings as described above to receive a text message.

How difficult is that?

LOL A bad workman doesn't blame his tools, he blames misinformation that you can't use your tools any other way

Have to admit though its not my tools in the first place, and she should know how to hold a bloody screwdriver
