I go for 'total waste of money' because:

1. you have totally no idea when or even if that voicemail will be listened to
2. listening to that same voice over and over again is damn annoying
3. it happens too often, lots of $$$ gone

What's wrong with a simple busy tone?

yeah total waste of money to both caller and subcriber

1st thing when i subcribe maxis postpaid and porting hotlink to celcom blue is removing the voicemail.

I thought you can disable the voicemail function in hotlink/maxis postpaid.

People hardly use voicemail. It's a waste of money.

sometime i leave a msg,

but usually i wont leave any msg becoz nothing important to say, or i dont think the recipient will check their voicemail inbox.

however, if i receive any notification about new voicemail in my inbox, then i'll check it.. but normally i hear nothing (silent) for 1 or 2secs lol.. wasting my time to check my voicemail inbox..

so far, my voicemail still active.. but on my 2nd number only. i disable voicemail features on my primary number, but turn on call fowarding to 2nd number. so if primary number unavailable, the call still fowarded to my 2nd number..

but if 2nd number also unavailable, then only it goes to voicemail..

Voicemail?

I rather send a sms better

does your number(s) works under the same telco or different telco?...
didn't know such functions available?...where unanswered call will be forwarded to the second number?...

agreee with you.. sometime you call to check voice mail still need rm0.36. sms just rm0.15

baik SMS.

you can foward the call to any network, the call fowarding service available for all network. for example, i can foward incoming call to maxis/digi/umobile/tm fixed line too. but you must request your service provider to activate it first (if its not enable by default).

you can choose to foward when not answered, or when not available (turned off or no coverage), or when busy (in used), or when rejected (you press the red button).

its free (no charge fee), but need to pay the fowarded call.

mean, when A call to B, and you foward it to C.. the A only pay call charge between A and B, and you have to pay the call charge between B and C..

I always turn off voicemail. With voicemail, my phone rings for 20 seconds only then the voicemail kicks in. Without voicemail, my phone rings for 60 seconds before the engaged tone. 60 seconds is a lot more time for me to answer my phone instead of 20.

how to disable voice mail for digi postpaid/ thanks

yeah
i want to know how to diasble voicemail servie for celcom
hate when u need to pay for useless service

Sometimes maxis will send me msg informing me that someone has just left a voicemail.
But i never check lo.
It's so troublesome

Somemore, you will also be charged when you call to listen to your voicemail

For Maxis, key in ##109# and call.. this will off the voice mail
To activate back the voice mail *#109#

As for DIGI, I do not know as I have just switched to DIGI and would like to know how also.

Agree, I can't find anything useful about the voice mail.

Last time got people sent me a voice mail, of a woman and kids laughing together.

Creepy.

it eats up money
and i dont ever think someone will playback voicemail ?

at least not for me, usually i get msg from 121, i just delete it straight

just give them a call.. say u want to deactivate it.

i guess we can call that 1111 and ask them to turn it off.

voicemail is dang expensive..even u juz heard a few second it will suck up ur credit..

scary "

Actually voicemail is indeed a very good feature especially to those businessman whom they could not be contacted and need to leave urgent message. I just hate that the fact Msia telcos are blood sucker and start charging you 1st second after entering the voicemail and u are being charged to hear that nonsense for at least 15 seconds. In most countries, voicemail is charged after the beep is heard. I disabled my voicemail so that people wont get trapped by the telcos. And the voicemail notification sucks. It might not arrive or arrive after few hours. It defeat the whole purpose then. It is a good feature but the implementation made it sucky.

I Disable It Too Just Now(Celcom).Voicemail Is Just A Trap That Cost Us(People) Millions.For Business Better Use SMS. This Feature Should Be Disable When We Buy The Sim And Enable It If We Want Too. Some People Just Dont Know How To Call The Service Operator And Disable It.

I tried keying in ##109# but cannot one...it came back as Network Prob. Is there an easier way like sending sms to dis disable?

deactive voicemail for digi is
*128*6*5*4# type 1 and sned

how to deactivate voicemail in U MOBILE...?? PLZ

any updates???? i wan miss call but not voicemail

U Mobile Voicemail can be deactivated by asking their customer service,call them at 1318

They charge u for listening to your voice mail! I will just call back without listening to my voice mail, coz after listening to it I would call back anyway most of the time. Telcos are not risk takers and rather stick to familiar territory. If Telcos are risk takers we would all be 100 percent on the cloud for whatever service they offer

how if i use postpaid? can it be deactivated?

how bout postpaid?

CRAP!! Called U Mobile @ 1318 to deactivate it, it's deactivated (confirmation sms received) and I tried to call it with another number, at the end of the call it says "The number does not have a voicemail se.."... call ended... then CALL CHARGE NOTIFICATION popped out!! CHARGED!!!!!

Is the condition still the same now? I just switched to U Mobile and thinking to disable its voicemail service. If the other party is still charged, then I would rather need not to disable the voicemail.

It's still the same. RM0.24 will be charged if you let the call ends on its own.

i tot last time umobile no voicemail??

no answer too long auto cut one...

This is too bad..
