How to deactivate the answering machine on Android: Movistar, Vodafone …

The answering service has been around for many years available in Europe for mobile phones and is something that many Android users use, such as call forwarding. Although this function has lost its presence and many people no longer want to use it and decide to deactivate it on their mobile.

Any Android user who wishes can deactivate the answering service on their phone. The process does not depend on your phone brand, it depends on the operator with which you have contracted your tariff, since it is the operator that provides this service.

This assumes that the process will be different depending on if you have Movistar, Vodafone, Orange or Yoigo

Movistar

Users in Movistar who wish to deactivate the answering machine have several possibilities to do so. These options also depend on the subscribed services, such as MultiSIM. You can do this by calling the operator:

• Call 22500 (free number) and ask for it to be deactivated.
• If you have subscribed to the MultiSIM service and want to deactivate it, call 1004.

If you do not want to make this call or if it is not possible at some point, Movistar allows deactivate the answering machine on your website, with these steps:

1. Go to My Movistar.
2. Go to the My Products section.
3. Enter line management.
4. Tap Voicemail.
5. Disable this option.
6. Click on Save.

Users with an Android smartphone who wish to deactivate the answering machine on their telephone and who have contracted Orange, will not have to call the operator or access their website. There is a simple code available

1. Open the phone app.
2. Dial the code ## 002 on it.
3. Click on the call button.
4. The answering machine has been deactivated.
