Samsung Galaxy S3: Switch off mailbox

Deactivate the answering machine on the Samsung Galaxy S3

You do not want to listen to your voicemails and are annoyed because the Mailbox starts and records messages. At a Samsung Galaxy S3, the mailbox can be switched off without problems.

1. To do this, go to "Phone" on your home screen. Via "Options" you open the "Call Settings". Here you will find the option "Call diversion".
2. Select the option "Deactivate" under "Voice call" -> "Forward if busy". Do the same under "Voice call" -> "Forward if not available" and "Voice call" -> "Forward if no answer".
3. As soon as you have selected the "Deactivate" option for these three options, call diversion is deactivated. Incoming calls are no longer routed to the mailbox, but will be wasted if you do not answer or decline the call.

Troubleshooting failed to turn off the mailbox

• This procedure for switching off the mailbox does not work with some Samsung Galaxy S3 devices. You will then receive the error message that call forwarding cannot be deactivated if the line is busy because the Provider that does not support.

• If you still have problems deactivating your answering machine, please contact your provider. Normally, he can deactivate your voicemail box without any problems.
