how can i remove the voicemail that is included with the phone?

The alcatel idol 4 voicemail is terrible. I have one voicemail from the cricket visual voicemail and then I get the same voicemail through the crappy one that is preinstalled---it only holds 20 calls and I have to press button after button to hear and/or delete each one--is there an alternative?

Re: how can i remove the voicemail that is included with the phone?

If your complaint is about dial-in voicemail (it sounds like it based on your description), it is what it is. Those systems are pretty much universal, even the voicemail system my employer uses for their phone system is similar. Getting anything different would require asking your carrier to change their system across the board.

You could switch to something like Google Voice, but you'll end up with a similar dial-in experience as input options are pretty limited.
