Sometimes phone calls come in at inconvenient times, such as during a movie or an appointment. On the other hand, you don't want to miss an important call. If your phone has voicemail, it can answer your calls for you and the caller can leave a message for you to call him back. There are a few different ways to make sure your incoming calls go directly to voicemail.
Instructions
1. Power your phone off. When a phone is turned off, any incoming calls go straight to voicemail.
2. Turn off the antenna by turning on flight mode. Some phones call this airplane mode instead. A smartphone has the capability of turning off the cellular antenna while keeping the rest of the phone on so it can be used as a PDA on planes. Any calls received while flight mode is active go directly to voicemail.
3. Set up contacts to divert directly to voicemail. Check the contact information in your cell phone for a way to enable this function if your phone supports it. This method requires the person calling you not have caller ID blocked.
4. Contact your cellular provider. Some carriers allow you to set a direct-to-voicemail number list in their system by dialing a specific code.
