The quickest way to turn off voicemail on Vodafone is to dial 1210 from your Vodafone mobile. It's a free call and deactivates all voicemail diversions in one go. If that doesn't work, the universal code ##002# cancels all call diverts including voicemail and works across Vodafone, EE, O2, and Three.
Dialling 1210 from your Vodafone handset is the Vodafone-specific method. The call is free and covers every voicemail diversion scenario: unanswered calls, calls when your phone is switched off, and calls when your number is unreachable. One call handles all three situations, so you don't need to cancel each divert separately.
Steps:
To switch voicemail back on later, dial 1211 instead. Same process, same free call.
The code ##002# is a universal GSM command that cancels all call diverts, including the ones that route missed calls to voicemail. It works on EE, O2, Vodafone, and Three in the UK.
Use this method if 1210 doesn't seem to take effect, or if you want a single code that you can remember regardless of which UK network you're on.
Steps:
Bear in mind this cancels all diverts, not just voicemail. If you have any other call forwarding set up, that will be cleared too.
Once voicemail is deactivated, callers who can't reach you will simply hear a ringing tone until the call times out, or they'll get a network message saying the call can't be connected. No message will be recorded. If you rely on voicemail for work or family contacts, let them know before you disable it.
From your Vodafone mobile, dial 121. From a landline or a different mobile, call your own Vodafone number and press * when your greeting plays, then enter your PIN. It's worth clearing any saved messages before deactivating the service, since access may not be straightforward once diverts are cancelled.
For most people, dialling 1210 is the right starting point. It's Vodafone-specific, free, and covers every diversion type. Use ##002# as a fallback if 1210 doesn't work, or if you want to clear all diverts at once. Both codes are confirmed as working on Vodafone.
