    I dont have a voisemail set up but still people use the 5 in front of my number to go directly to voicemail to leave messages and then I recieve a text telling me I have a voicemail. This is bloody annoying as I have purposely refused to set up a voicemail because I dont want to recieve any especially when I turn off my phone, nothing worse than turning back on and getting loads of messages. By the way this is work related thats why I dont want the messages, especially in the evening when away from work. Can anyone help block this for me.

    I think that there is an option on Vodafones voicemail for if you are away on holidays ( extended leave greeting option i think they call it ) which doesnt allow anybody to leave messages.

    You could try this or ask them to completely remove the Vm from your account

    You can ring customer care to ask them to extend your ringing time , or turn off your voicemail maybe your best bet. IMO with o2 you can set up your personal secretary for a fixed fee per month works great.

    BTW is this your personal phone or a company phone?

    Personally, I'd have words with an employee who doesn't have voice mail up and running on his company supplied phone. i don't reimburse phone calls for employees who use their personal phones for work and have voice mail switched off.

    Brian if you have a look at the original post you will see that i didnt ask your opinion about an employee switching off their phone or voicemail.Just for the record the phone is a private phone that has been abused by an employer after hours. I dont get paid for working after hrs and certainly dont get paid for taking calls after work on a private phone.

    The greeting message for voicemail can be up to 30 seconds.
    30 seconds of noise or "on hold" music, with no instruction to leave a message ;) should be enough to put most callers off.
    Or record "Voicemail on this number has been disabled. Thank you for calling" and the rest of the message blank for the 30 seconds (don't use your own voice:) )

    The "on hold" music worked for me so far but if the caller does wait for the 30 sec. he will get the beep to leave the message :(
