How do I get rid of the automated message after my outgoing voicemail?

Hey Everyone,
I have a 16GB iPhone 3G, and I recently I contacted AT&T regarding problems I was having with the recently deployed Free Wi-Fi service at AT&T hotspots. The problem was resolved, but in the process AT&T reset my voicemail account. Since then, every time someone calls me, they hear my custom outgoing voicemail message, followed by the dreaded automated message, "At the tone, please record your message. When you are finished recording, you may hang up or press 1 for more options." One of my favorite things about the iPhone's visual voicemail was that it cut through all this type of excess! In an effort to resolve this (it was never like the before and I know I don't get the automated message when I call my friends who have iPhones), I called Apple Tech Support. They told me there to call the number 1-800-331-0500, and simply reset my pass code, and that this would fix it. Feeling relieved, I followed their instructions, but to no avail. I called AT&T and was told that "This is a new feature that AT&T has added to their voicemail service" and that "Anyone who has their voicemail reset would now have this new feature added to their voicemail." I was told there is no way to disable it! Is this in fact the case? Am I now stuck with this new "feature"? If anyone knows how to get rid of this, please let me know! If anyone from Apple is reading this, can you PLEASE see if anything can be done about removing this extremely annoying "feature" from iPhone voicemail? Thanks very much!
David

Hi David,
On your iPhone, when you press Phone> Voicemail, does it Call standard voicemail or show Visual Voicemail?
It sounds like this issue would be resolved by contacting AT&T again.

Also, you might be able to find the answer on the AT&T message boards.

    How can I get rid of the iTunes logo after updating my iPhone to iOS 6

    Absolute garbage.
    This abysmal excuse "Always have been built in apps" is irrelevant. NOTHING should be tied to the OS of even
    a phone so tightly that you can't get rid of it. NONE of the apple crap apps do I use, but they use space on MY phone.
    I want the **** things gone.

  • How do I get rid of the error message "There was an error connecting to the server “Office AirPort Extreme” ?

    How do I get rid of the error message "There was an error connecting to the server “Office AirPort Extreme” ?  This message shows up 3 times when I boot my iMac.

    I do have a USB hard drive hooked up to the Airport.  I've never created an AppleScript for it.  Should I disconnect the USB drive and see if I still get the error message?
    Thanks for your reply!

    When starting up Firefox 4 I get an error message. After clicking OK it nevertheless runs. How can I get rid off the error message?
    The error message is: what happened: Type Error: Components. classes ['@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1'] is undefined.
    It appears all the time already from the beginning after installing Firefox 4.

    Thanks a lot. The Ask toolbar created this problem. Another problem is: When searching on the web via Google, normally it is possible to type a few letters and then look what appears and then click on the wanted word(s). A number of word(s) ineed do appear, however it is not possible to select any of them as ws possible as mentioned in olders versions.

  • How do I get rid of the blank space after one paragraph and before the next paragraph startsin Pages '09?  I understand that I should not have a page break mid paragraph but that is what I want.

    Hi stephanie,
    These are unrelated questions/statements.
    Space before and space after a paragraph are controled in the Text Inspector, as you've found out.
    Pages will create a page break whenever there is no room for another line on the page. That break can come anywhere in a paragraph.
    You may be thinking of Widow and Orphan prevention, and the other Pagination controls, found under the More button in the Text Inspector. (If that's what you found, then thanks for the refresher! I hadn't been to that pane for awhile, and had forgotten the variety of pagination controls available.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • LG Lucid 3: How can I get rid of the text message indicator? It says I have a text message, but I do not.

    I have a new LG Lucid 3 and the text message indicator says I have a new message, but I do not. Messaging is empty when I click on it. How can I get rid of the "1" indicator? I tried turning the phone on and off and that did not work.

    Thanks for trying, Anzivina! You've done some strong troubleshooting. Although I do wish it had resolved this matter, I believe we still have options. You've indicated that  you've done a factory reset. Can you walk me through the steps you took to get there? Also, after the factory reset, how long before this message indicator appeared again? Was it before or after you restored all your personal data?

  • TS2755 How do i get rid of the "saved messages" on my iphone?

    whener i go to setting>general>usage it shows that i have 1.8gb of "saved messages". How do i get rid of these?

    Firstly you DO NOT have to do a factory reset / wipe device, it is simply not required to get the space back!!
    Mine had 3GB and I just got rid of it all, here is how:
    Make a backup in iTunes
    open iBackupBot (Google it)
    Go to the relevant backup
    Click on Multimedia File Manager and click on the other Multimedia files tab
    Sort by filename by clicking the Filename tab
    Find MediaDomain/Library/SMS/Attachments and highlight all of them, then press delete.  You can also click to export to a folder of your choice, if you want to save them that is. 
    Then go to System Files>MediaDomain>Library>SMS>Attachments
    They will be all listed here, highlight them all and press delete
    Then just restore that backup using iTunes! 
    Tadaa! Space recovered, your messages are still there but without the attachments! 
    P.S You may want to make two backups in case you get any of the above steps wrong, but it is simple to follow the above and not do anything wrong!

  • How do I get rid of the trial offer after I've subscribed?

    I've subscribed and paid my money but the trial offer keeps popping up when I try to open an adobe document. I may have done the trial under one email and the actual subscription under another, but I'm a woman of many emails (LOL) and I don't remember what I did the trial with.  How do I get rid of it?  And why can't I open .pdfs just to read them because of that trial pop-up?  It makes me mad and it's slowing me down!!

    You have to sign in because it's a subscription. It has to know who you are so it knows what you paid for. By contrast, most software just checks once when you installed that you paid, and you then have it forever.
    Don't know why it's popping up again, but did you sign in again?

  • I searched on "ev handl" and found three questions on the problem I am having. I didn't see an answer. I am using windows 7 with the latest firefox update. How do I get rid of the error message?

    when opening windows in Fire Fox, I am getting a Java Script Application message. "Exc in ev handl: Type Error: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function"

    Your message is a little bit different but very similar to other message and it includes "SA" in the message, so I'm suggesting...
    Best solution appears to be to uninstall Site Advisor from system and then to reinstall again from www.siteadvisor.com as noted in https://community.mcafee.com/message/203466
    Also refer to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions relating to McAfee Site Advisor 3.4.0 for more specific instructions.

  • How do I get rid of the text messages on my phone for good?

    After I delete the texts I can't recieve incoming messages? I can only recieve those messages after I restart my iphone but then all the older messages I had just deleted come back.

    If you wish to delete a whole conversation, then you simply go to the left side of the conversasions panel and slide your finger to the left. If you wish to delete only a few, then hold the bubble until it has a few options come up, chose more than choose delete. That wil not delete the text from the other persons phone, you are not able to do that wothout taking there phone. Hope that helped

  • Security errors and phishing website? how do i get rid of the error message?

    mac book pro with mac os x lion10.7.5. I think I got a virus. i'm getting a security error window when i'm on safari. I ran Bitdefender virus scan on whole system and it came up clean. I cant get internet access because of the warning. I don't know what else to do. Can't get to genius bar until tomorrow night but need help asap.

    It is not a virus.
    It is a scam.
    What is far more dangerous for your Mac is having Bitdefender install on it. Bit defender is worthless crapware and should be uninstalled.
