I want to disable my voicemail

I have called and spoken to 2 different reps who both times said they had removed it from my account and both times they had not.  When I boot up my phone, I get the notification of "new voicemail" and it wants me to set up voicemail, which I don't want.  And even that, it asks me to enter a mailbox number, which I don't have nor know what that is.  Not the point.  I don't want voicemail.  How do I get someone who knows what they're doing to remove it?  It seems like Telus sends its customers down a rabbit hole of links and AI bots to avoid actually providing a phone number for a tech to help support their clients.

    Removing VM shouldn't be that difficult for sure. Feel free to send our Support account here ( TELUS_Support) a private message and we can investigate.

      So it seems the voicemail itself has been disabled (after a 3rd call yesterday) BUT I still get a consistent and repeated notification of new voicemail from Telus.  Every morning when I power up my phone, the notification pops up and keeps coming back despite being swiped off screen.  I have tried deleting data and cache and no change.  When I check the notification, the automated system wants me to enter my mailbox number?  I don't have one and have no idea what that means?  PLEASE help!

        Hey Hemogoblin that number would be one that tech support needs to provide you. Although you've called enough, that would be the route to take
