Hello Naja_711:      Thank you for posting your question on the CDV Forum about your Voice Mail feature. I am sorry you were misinformed about how our Voice Mail works. You do not have to activate the Voice Mail in order for it to work. However, you should create a greeting message and secure pass word. I have checked your account and this feature is on your account. You can not deactivate Voice Mail yourself; you will need to contact us to have this feature removed. Another option would be to change the ring count on your answer machine to 4 or less as our Voice Mail picks up after 5 rings. Feel free to email me directly if you do not get a resolution through normal means. Thanks modmlr ... View more
