Turn of voicemail message on AT&T wireless internet device (Model: MF279) home phone

When someone calls me and my phone rings 2 times a message comes on saying my 'voice mail is not activated.This confuses people and they hang up thinking I'm not at home. I don't want voice mail in less than 6 or 8 rings and would like if possible not to have voicemail at all if possible.

I spoke with several service people today and they could not find a way to stop voicemail service or how they could set the rings more than two before going to voicemail.

Hi, @Rmstanle,

 

We'd love to help with this. There is no way to change the number of rings on your device before it goes to voicemail. You can set up voicemail for the MF279 if you desire.

 

Have a great weekend!
