Yes, just ring them on your regular contact number for customer services and
ask them to turn it off. Job done.
I used to be a contract customer and turned it off immediately after signing
up with them. Sorry cnt remember the number to call for customer services on
contracts. I'm now a PAYG customer.

Yes.
Don't ask them to turn it off, otherwise you'll get them all confused.
As far as their system goes, they have to enable something to achieve
what you want!
You need to ask them to /enable/ no default divert to voicemail.

Not actually correct.

Not correct also. Enabling "no autodivert" allows the user total control
over the diverts. It does not turn the voicemail service off.

How so? Have they changed it?

Perfect solution then!
Why shouldn't the account holder have the ability to make vm turn off &
onable?

Because Orange assumes that most of their users are fairly thick.
By having the autodivert, you can divert all calls to another number,
then turn the divert off again. If there was no autodivert, you'd need
to set the divert to answerphone when needed each time.
Something like that would tax the sort of user that Orange considers
their customer base - or more likely, something that would generate
too many support calls.

What a lot of bull****. I just told them to turn off the orange answering
service and off it went.

That will work, but you won't be able to activate it again without calling
OCS again. Enabling no-autodivert allows the user control via the handset
menus or *# codes.

Don't know what they have done to mine, they have switched off the diverts
OK but when the phone is switched off the caller gets the equipment engaged
tone!

Charming. Try Diverting calls to VM now. Chances are you won't be able
to.
