As you know, the vast majority of businesses still integrate voicemail service so that those who call us can leave a review that we can listen to later. However, in the specific case of O2, the company decided not to integrate this tool because they consider it obsolete for the current times and prefer to invest their time and money in other functions that are more interesting for the user.
This is something that Vodafone has also adopted recently, but despite this, some customers claim that They continue to receive notifications that they have messages waiting in their voicemail. without having it active. Don't worry, the problem does not come from your carrier, but directly from a feature that the iPhone has built in and which, fortunately, can be easily disabled.
Turn off Apple's “Live Voicemail” and the problem is solved
Oddly enough, the common denominator of all users who report this problem on their devices is that they use an iPhone in their daily use. And since the arrival of iOS 17, Apple has introduced a tool called “Live Voicemail” which is enabled by default regardless of which carrier you have, and this is precisely the problem that prevents you from disabling it.
And this option allows us to visualize a real-time transcription of the voice message we receive so we can respond to it as quickly as possible but, if we deactivate it, we will prevent the other person from leaving us this message. Ultimately, the idea is to completely eliminate voicemail from our iPhone, and the way to do it is very simple.
To do this, you just need to follow these simple steps:
- Enter your iPhone settings and go to the “Applications” section
- Now, search for “Phone” and at the bottom of the menu you will find the “Live Voicemail” option.
- Simply turn it off if you no longer want to receive messages in your voicemail
