Vodafone Voicemail: Number, Setup and How to Turn Off

Vodafone Voicemail Number

The Vodafone voicemail number is 121 when calling from your Vodafone mobile. To check messages from a landline or another mobile, call your own Vodafone number — when the voicemail greeting plays, press * and enter your PIN.

How to Set Up Vodafone Voicemail

Voicemail is enabled by default on most Vodafone plans. To configure it for the first time:

1. Dial 121 from your Vodafone handset.
2. Follow the prompts to choose a PIN and record a personal greeting.
3. Your voicemail is now ready to receive messages from missed calls.

Calling 121 is free from your Vodafone phone, whether you are on pay monthly or pay as you go.

How to Listen to Vodafone Voicemail

Press and hold 1 on your keypad, or dial 121. New messages play first. After each message you can press 1 to replay, 2 to save or 3 to delete. If you are abroad, dial your own number and press * when the greeting starts, then enter your PIN.

How to Turn Off Vodafone Voicemail

Vodafone provides dedicated short codes to manage voicemail:

• Deactivate voicemail: Dial 1210 and press call.
• Reactivate voicemail: Dial 1211 and press call.

You can also use the universal code ##002# to cancel all conditional call forwarding, which includes voicemail. After deactivation, callers will hear your phone ring until the call ends and you will still see missed-call alerts.

Changing Your Vodafone Voicemail Greeting

Dial 121 and follow the menu to the greeting options (usually option 4, then 2). Record your new message and confirm. A professional greeting helps business callers know they have reached the right person.

Vodafone Visual Voicemail

Visual Voicemail is available on iPhones connected to Vodafone. Open the Phone app, tap the Voicemail tab and set a password. Messages appear in a list so you can listen to them in any order. Android users can download the Vodafone Voicemail app from the Play Store for a similar experience.

Voicemail Abroad

Listening to voicemail while roaming can incur charges. Consider turning voicemail off before you travel by dialling 1210, or switch to a VoIP solution that delivers messages to your email inbox.
