Disable Voicemail

I have an online number but I want to completely disable voice mail.  I don't want Skype answering if I am not at my one of my computers.

 

I unchecked all voice mail options in the preferences on all my computers. But it still picks up. Is there a way to disable it online?

Re: Disable Voicemail

There is no "disable" button next to the "enabled" box in Voicemail. How do I disable voicemail?

Re: Disable Voicemail

I also have this problem.  I won't be renewing my "Online Number" if this isn't resolved.  I end up missing calls from customers beacuse I forget to stop forwarding calls to Skype when I shut my computer off.

Re: Disable Voicemail

If you go to your account- options - voicemail there is a disable button. Click on that button it should disable your voicemail.

Re: Disable Voicemail

If only it was so simple...you must have an older download of Skype, unfortunately with the latest version (for Windows 7) there is not an option to disable voicemail (for paying subscribers) and if you further direct a call after forwarding a call using Skype, Skype has a sensor to disallow this in its latest version. Voicemail kicks in, whether you want it or not, so that one is forced to set up call forwarding to a mobile and pay the princely sum of 23c a minute. However I have solved the problem by downloading a 2011 version of Skype and everything works again!
