Voicemail is a voice message that a caller leaves when the person they are trying to call is absent or is busy with another conversation. You can think of voicemail as some kind of email but instead of keeping text messages sent from your contacts, they keep voice messages which could be exactly what you need when you are a very busy person.

But sometimes it can be a real pain if you get a lot of messages and they keep on piling up in your inbox because you will then have to make time as you try to go through each one of them. So if you find that you really don’t have the time of day to deal with such messages and feel you do not really need a service like that, you can opt-out of your Optus voicemail service, and here is how:
