Whether you're avoiding the cost of calling to hear your voicemail or spam callers, turning off your answerphone feature with O2 is completely possible. It answers any calls you miss, but you might end up paying extra if you have to keep calling your voicemail to check it. This How.com.vn article will teach you how to turn off O2 voicemail on your Android or iPhone.
Steps
