Has anyone successfully been able to disable the automated robo lady voicemail instructions that say 'At the tone, please record your message. When you have finished recording, you may hang up, or press 1 for more options. To leave a callback number, press 5.'?
I was able to disable it on AT&T, but Verizon seems much less consumer friendly...Anybody have any luck?

The customer you are calling can change to rapid prompts under administrative options.

No, rapid prompts are something else. That means that the VM owner hears faster prompts when navigating the settings.
I just spent an hour on the phone with Verizon Customer Support troubleshooting this problem and researching it on the internet while I do so. In the end, I got the confirmation that we can not disable this mandatory voice mail tutorial after our recorded announcement. The reason is pretty obvious - the carriers make hundreds of millions of dollars off the extra minutes that we spend listening to their class every time we leave a voice mail.

Well that answers my question of why they would let us add one of our own customized ones if we have to ALSO use theirs. Like I really want 2 messages going out. "Hi you've reached....leave a message. Hi, you've reached...leave a message.
