Voicemail is not a new feature for smartphones. It existed early in the time when Nokia used to rule the Smartphone market as well it exists now in the modern world. For those who don’t know voicemail is a smartphone feature which can store voice messages from the callers in case, you’re not available to take a call.
The voicemail feature is sure serviceable but it doesn’t come for free. Users need to pay to access the voicemail feature. The price heavily depends on from what carrier the users buy their phone from.
So, the bottom line is that not everyone finds or has the need for the voicemail feature. Users may want to deactivate it. Well, there is a way to do so. However, this requires calling the customer care no matter on what carrier you are currently on.
In order to speed things up make sure to have your account info ready beforehand only. This will make the process a whole lot easier and quicker.

Turn off Voicemail on Verizon
Among all the four carriers listed in this post, Verizon has the most expensive voicemail feature. There are three different packages to choose from— basic, visual and premium. Not to mention the premium package cost 2.99$ therefore, I guess more users would like to shed them off.
To deactivate voicemail on Verizon, dial (800) 922-0204 from the Dialer app. Kindly ask the customer service to disable the voicemail feature.
That’s it, guys! Those were the customer care numbers for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon.
