Hi there. I keep getting texts saying "Thanks for activating visual voicemail", but I've never actually done so (it's 2024, who uses voicemail?!). These appear to be official O2 system messages - there are no links out, my phone recognises it as coming from "O2:", and the texts are marked at the bottom as "you cannot reply to this short code".
Does anyone know why I might be getting these alerts? My concern is someone is trying to remotely access my (non-existent) voicemails remotely, and each attempt is causing one of these texts to come through to my actual phone, but less paranoically, if it's just an error, how do I stop them?

You need to go into your phone app >settings >voicemail and turn off the switch for VVM
