I'm trying to disable an annoying prompt in my voicemail. I've noticed that more often than not, when I call anyone on Verizon and end up getting their voicemail, there's almost always a lady saying "to send a fax, press four. To leave a callback number, press five." Is there any way to disable this? Optimally, you'd call my number, the voicemail would pick up, you'd hear me saying "I'm not here, leave a message", and then a simple *beeeeeeeep*. The lady I just talked to at Verizon seemed pretty in the dark about the whole thing and suggested I try my mailbox settings, which so far haven't proven all that useful (bonus link: Verizon Voicemail At-A-Glance PDF).

Any ideas?

You can press * (star) and go directly into VM.

Excellent! Thank you.

If you want to turn it off for people reaching your VM, then listen to the prompts when you log in to check your VM. There is a choice called "options" with leads to "adminstrative" options which leads to the option of turning off the FAX prompt to callers in your VM. I only found this out because your post reminded me that I wanted to figure out how to turn it off. So, "thanks" for the post.
