Turn Off Voice Mail On Cell Phones

Voice mail is standard with most wireless phone services.


Voice mail is a service hosted by your wireless phone provider. Your wireless phone doesn't actually record and capture voice mails. When you don't answer your phone within a certain number of rings or your wireless phone is turned off, your calls go back to the wireless service provider and connect to your voice mail.
