Remove free answerphone service from landline

My elderly mother can’t get to the phone before the answerphone cuts in.

This is NOT the premium answer service - I’ve checked her online account and that box is already unticked.

The talktalk helpline didn’t manage to remove the service despite me spending nearly 2 hours explaining the issue.

We just want the service entirely removed. Just let the phone ring and ring until mum picks up.  

Please could someone help? I tried calling BT 0800 5875252 as someone else suggested but that’s only for stopping text converted to voicemail messages.

The problem was solved thanks to Arne.  Entirely my fault, mum had a phone in her office which I had not realised was an answerphone…. Unplugged it and problem solved.  
Sorry TalkTalk I was cursing you but it was my error 😬…
