To turn off voicemail on Vodafone UK, dial 1210 from your Vodafone mobile. It's a free call, and it deactivates all voicemail diversions in one go. If you prefer a universal method that works across UK networks, dial ##002# and press call.
Open your phone's dialler, type 1210, and press call. Vodafone will process the request and deactivate your voicemail service, covering all three scenarios: when your phone isn't answered, when it's switched off or out of signal, and when the line is busy. The call is free from any Vodafone mobile. Once done, callers who can't reach you will simply hear a standard ringing tone rather than being redirected to a message box.
To switch voicemail back on at any point, dial 1211 from your Vodafone phone. Same process, no charge.
Dialling ##002# then pressing call cancels all call diverts on your SIM, including voicemail. According to connection-technologies.co.uk, this code works on EE, O2, Vodafone and Three. It's the quickest option if you're unsure whether your voicemail is set up through Vodafone's own system or via a third-party divert that ended up on your account. One code clears the lot.
The difference between the two methods is small. Use 1210 if you want to be specific to Vodafone's voicemail service. Use ##002# if you want to wipe all diverts in one step and don't mind resetting any other call-forwarding rules you may have set up.
Dial 121 from your Vodafone mobile to access your voicemail inbox. If you're calling from a landline or a different mobile, ring your own Vodafone number and press * when your greeting plays, then enter your PIN. Worth clearing any saved messages before you deactivate, since once voicemail is off, new callers won't be able to leave them.
No other Vodafone services are affected. Calls, texts, data and your number all stay exactly as they are. Callers who reach an unanswered phone will simply get a standard ring-out rather than a voicemail prompt. Some callers find this confusing at first, expecting to leave a message, so it's a personal call depending on how you use your phone.
If you use call forwarding to another number for work purposes, check those rules separately before dialling ##002#, since that code cancels all diverts, not just voicemail.
