I disabled my voicemail. Problem solved.
I've never had it enabled
Over here whenever you get a new provider, the voicemail is automatically enabled. You need to actively disable it or you are being spammed with messages from your mom saying "hi, yeah, so I tried to call, but you didn't pick up.... So, I'll try again in 2 minutes. Bye!" "hi, yeah, so I tried to call you again, but still you didn't pick up. Why aren't you picking up? Anyway, I'll try again in a bit. Bye!" etc.
I had a phone set up as a tablet. It couldn't send or receive SMS or calls. It was a beautiful decade.
Then microsoft killed skype-in and skype-out, because they worked really well and the glitter-junkies who've shat something new and broken and slow onto the public needed less competition with working apps. Had to get a new plan with a number that worked. Received a shit call and it went to voicemail on the way from the store to the train.
I had voicemail enabled for 10 minutes and it was hell.
