If you have an answering machine and want to disable the automated voicemail feature on your phone, you'll need to contact your phone service provider to have them turn off the voicemail service. The process for doing this may vary depending on your provider, but generally, you can follow these steps:
  1. Find the customer service number for your phone service provider. This can usually be found on your phone bill or on the provider's website.
  2. Call the customer service number and follow the prompts to speak with a representative.
  3. Let the representative know that you would like to disable the voicemail service on your phone and explain that you have an answering machine that you would prefer to use instead.
  4. The representative may ask you to confirm some account information or may need to make some changes to your account settings. Be sure to follow any instructions they provide.
  5. Once the changes are made, test your phone to make sure that calls are going directly to your answering machine and that the automated voicemail service is disabled.

Note that if you later decide to re-enable the voicemail service, you can contact your provider again to have it turned back on.
