No. I always have voicemail switched off at home and abroad.

When abroad I only answer the calls I want to answer. I don't answer the calls I don't want to answer - therefore I control what I am charged.

The wisest choice is to ensure you have no voicemail and only take the calls you want to.

1571 / Voicemail as always been a scam to make extra money, simply because it doesn't cost the caller anything to be told the phone is off or unavailable or you didn't get to the phone in time, yet with voicemail / 1571 active it does cost the caller in these istances - it was simply a money making scam plain and simple.
