I was looking to turn off my voicmail and found ehow first and they said type in #004# which i did and it disables a lot of things like call forwarding not just voicmail, but when i tried *004# to re-activate it is saying error.

Have i turned off anything i need?

(also found another website with correct info of dialing 1760 that turns off voicmail)

    AFAIK, it's the network that has to disable/enable voicemail on your request.
    Some handsets can probably do some pseudo-voicemail by recording the call if there is reception, but you don't answer the call.

    when i dailed 1760 the recording said voicmail turned off.

    More concerned the other code deactivated several things.

    #004# only cancels diverts to voicemail and does not remove voicemail itself, you can still dial your vm number
