Take Back the Beep: how to disable voicemail instructions on Sprint (updated!)

While we wait for all the carriers to get on board with nixing their endless, unhelpful voicemail pre-beep messages, we’ve already got instructions from Sprint on how to disable it for your own particular voicemail box on that network.

It’s pretty easy:

  1. Call your voicemail
  2. At the menu, press 3 for personal options
  3. Press 2 for greeting
  4. Press 1 to change the greeting
  5. To enable / disable the instructions, press 3

Trust us, we did some serious searching for similar instructions on the other major carriers, but had no luck. If you know of anything, let us know!
