"outgoing service only" to avoid the MJ voicemail?

Post by culeboards »

I'd like my callers to skip the MJ voice mail when I'm on vacation. Wondering if (under Subscriptions), turning off Incoming Service would achieve this goal.

Grateful for your input!

I just found that too today, and I would imagine it would do just that ;)

It would be the logical assumption. The question I have is if you would still be able to forward calls with it turned off. I would think it would be easy to click the box, make or have a friend make a few calls and test it out.

haven't tested it, but it would seem if no incoming service, then nothing to call forward ;)

Yea, that was the point I was trying to make, and didn't do it too well. If you are on vacation, most people want their calls forwarded, so stopping the service would seem to be counter-productive.

And I'm not sure I would trust MJ with this. They might add a line in their TOS a day after you do it that it's an election that requires signing over your next born to get it reversed.
