leave voice message without ringing?

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to leave a voicemail for somebody WITHOUT their phone ringing first?  I know this was achievable a number of years ago but I'm not sure if this can still be done?

Thank you for any help.

T Mobile / Orange used to offer that but I've never seen it an option on O2's voicemail system?

Thanks for the info. I checked the voicemail options but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing another method..

Thanks.

Agree with @MI5 it's not something that O2 support.

The only option is via a messaging app such as Whatapp et al

Definitely not available on O2 unless the receiving phone is switched off.

Do you guys think this is an interesting option? I've never seen it ..so just wondering if they deleted the option because there wasn't many people interested in it...

I can see it may be useful under certain circumstances....if you are calling at some ungodly hour and you don't want to wake up the recipient...

Personally for me I wouldn't want it. If someone rings me I want to hear the call...With my famly I prefer to 'know' sooner ....rather than later

I could never see the point of it myself but I'm sure some may have good reason to want the feature......?
