How can I keep my voicemail but allow no-one to leave a message

[Anonymous]

I run a business and although I have a voicemail and recorded message . When I am closed for a peroid of time, I want customers to hear my message but not let them leave a message!

I do not want to come back to 200 messages. I just want to let people know I am unavailable until a set date?

Thanks

What phone do you have

I have a A doro 620. It only gets turned on for my working hours (through the night).

Thanks for the link above that will come in handy in other situations but I want my work phone turned off but still for them to hear my message.

Trying to search google, using the keywords is fustrating!

There's no app I can think of that will work with the phone turned off.

I know...I have just tried it myself on your behalf...and can find nothing...Everything but that actually!

Just a thought, but does anyone know how many minutes O2 allow to be recorded as voicemail?
With EE it's 15mins and after that it won't allow any more messages to be left, so in theory, you could just call your own phone and fill up your mailbox with one recording?

Well that sounds brilliant actually..one question though. Would that mailbox remain full with your own message.....or would it reset back to empty after a certain period of time?

Seems it is up to 30 messages each up to 2 minutes long according to: http://www.howtofixanything.co.uk/howto-o2voicemail.html

I'd thought 10-15 minutes would be appropriate
