Voicemail Received Despite Being Disabled

Learn why you might receive voicemails on Zendesk even when voicemail is disabled.

Why did I receive a voicemail when voicemail is disabled on my Zendesk account?

Receiving a voicemail even when it's disabled on your Zendesk account can be puzzling. This typically happens when an end user calling your Talk number encounters an error.

Instead of dropping the call and forcing the caller to redial and wait in the queue again, the system routes the call to voicemail. This ensures a smoother experience for the caller, even if voicemail is not actively enabled on your account. For more details, you can check the originalZendesk article.
