The problem is it's not your phone that's taking the message -- it's
the provider's voicemail system. So the decision to abandon the
ringing and transfer to voicemail isn't made by your phone -- that's
why there's no setting on the phone for it.

Just a nit... It's actually the switch. The switch forwards/
redirects the call to the voicemail system. The switch
doesn't really know it's voicemail, it's just applying a
service/feature that's on your line. Could be call forwarding
or forward on busy, forward on no answer, etc.

Back in the day when I was a T-Mo user, there were settings you could
manipulate by entering "hash codes" for all kinds of options. Probably a GSM
only feature, although can't say for sure.
