How to turn off voicemail on Vodafone: a step-by-step guide

There are a few ways to turn off voicemail on your Vodafone mobile. The quickest is to dial a short code directly from your phone, which cancels the call diversions that route unanswered calls to voicemail. If you want to remove voicemail from your account entirely, you can contact Vodafone customer service and they will be able to help you.

How do I disable Vodafone voicemail?

The most reliable way to disable voicemail on Vodafone — and on most UK networks — is to dial ##002# and press the call button. This cancels all call diversions on your line, including the diversion to voicemail when your phone is busy, unanswered, or switched off. You should see a confirmation message on screen once the code is accepted.

This code works on both iPhone and Android and does not require a settings menu or an app.

How do you turn your voicemail off?

There are a couple of ways to turn voicemail off on a UK mobile:

  • Dial a code: Dialling ##002# and pressing call is the standard method on Vodafone (and most other UK networks). It clears all call-forward settings, so your phone will simply ring with no divert if you miss a call.
  • Phone settings: Some Android handsets and iPhones include a voicemail toggle in the Phone or Call Settings section of the device settings app. The exact location varies by handset and operating system version. This phone-level setting only affects visual voicemail features and may not remove the network-level divert, so dialling ##002# is the more thorough option.

If callers are still being sent to voicemail after you have dialled ##002#, contact Vodafone customer services on 191 (free from your Vodafone mobile) to check whether there is a network-side setting on your account.

How do I turn my voicemail back on with Vodafone?

If you want to re-enable voicemail after turning it off, Vodafone’s recommended method is set out on their voicemail support page. You can also call 121 free from your Vodafone mobile to access the voicemail service and follow the prompts, or contact customer services on 191.

If you would prefer not to use voicemail at all, you can ask Vodafone to remove it from your account entirely by calling customer services or using the live chat option in the My Vodafone app or on the Vodafone website.
