Voicemail

[ian_alex1]

I will be visiting South Africa soon and  have heard that voicemail messages cost to receive, even if not listened to!

How do I turn voicemail off?

Thanks

Hi 

Voicemail outside Europe zone

Calls to voicemail outside Europe zone are charged as per a voice call. Please note that outside of Zone 1 - Europe, you'll also be charged the incoming rate when someone leaves you a voicemail.

Please see the full roaming guide in Mobile pricing for all roaming charges.

Hope that helps.

If you absolutely want to avoid charges while abroad, there's nothing to stop you leaving the SIM card at home. Then the mobile just becomes a mini computer, but will work for anything that can use local wifi, @ian_alex1.
