Re: disable 1571 voicemail

For some of us, even just having a telephone plugged into the Master Socket became a total bloody nuisance and that is why I haven't had ye 'olde telephone thingy plugged in for years. I just got fed up of nutters, spammers and some particularly awful family members believing they could just 'phone up any time they wanted. My evenings are mostly total uninterrupted bliss these days. Grin

Re: disable 1571 voicemail

I only have Caller Display showing in my Call Features, but voicemail does seem to be active on my phone as part of the package, but I'm unable to access it in my Control Panel. How do I raise a ticket to remove it please as I'm happy with my personal answerphone?

Re: disable 1571 voicemail

Sorry to hear this @karenj

It looks like when you signed up we added the voicemail to your line by mistake despite you not choosing it.

I've placed a order to remove this from the line for you and this should go through in the next hour or so.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused

Re: disable 1571 voicemail

No problem.

I've just checked and it's been removed so you shouldn't have it on your line anymore.

Let us know if that's not the case

Re: disable 1571 voicemail

I too would like voicemail removed, but the link given does not show it so I cannot remove it myself. Three people have recently told me they left a message but there are no messages recorded on my answering machine. I belatedly tried 1571, and there they were! I do not remember asking for voicemail, and I do not want  to have to pick up my phone and listen to the dialing tone every time I come in, but just glance at the answering machine to see if it shows a flashing red light. It appears that voicemail takes precedence over my machine, so I would like it disabled please.

Re: disable 1571 voicemail

hi - I also did not opt in to 157` but it has appeared on my phone line. I wish to remove it but as it is not showing in the control panel - I cannot do it that way.

Can someone please remove that service from my line?

Thanks

Re: disable 1571 voicemail

Hi @s3swiss, sorry to see that was added to the line despite not being on the account.

 

I've placed an order to correct that for you.

We have to advise up to 1 working day for this to complete, but they often complete within an hour or less.

 

I hope this helps.
