stop voice mail descriptions of duration and call number

Voice mail recently started telling me the duration and call number before every voice mail message I receive.  How do I turn this off and just listen to the message without having to wait for all the info first?

Call in to your voicemail - Choose option 4 (Personal Options), then 2 (Administrative Options).  Under Admin options, you want 4 (Message review options), then 2 (Envelope options).  Turn them OFF and you will not hear the date, time, and phone number of messages that were left.

Hint: You don't have to listen to the entire prompt before pressing the numbers, so after you enter your password and #, you can press 4, 2, 4, 2 with a slight pause in between each number.  Then listed for the correct prompt to turn Envelope options OFF.
