Yep, that's exactly right. Disabling the voicemail feature on a line, even prepaid, is a fairly common request (from those traveling out of the country, for example). Once disabled, if you call the number directly, it should just continue ringing until the call is either answered or declined. This is what allows Voice to hit the timeout that triggers its own voicemail. I haven't tested this since T-Mobile's most recent (and minor) changes to its prepaid lines, but I'm fairly sure it's still viable.
