Disable voicemail

For 8 years I have had an Xfinity land line and calls went to my phone's voicemail.  Recently, all calls are going to the Comcast voicemail, which is NOT what I want.  How do I remove this?  I am the account owner, this is a Comcast/Xfinity landline.  There are no Chat buttons in this forum to start any conversation.  I have read the other Xfinity suggestions, and guess what, my account doesn't have those settings.  Besides spending forever on the phone with Comcast/Xfinity , how do I remove this action that I don't want and didn't ask for?

Some accurate and real answers would be appreciated.

Are you saying you want to use an answering machine?  If so, I think you can set the answering machine to take the call in, e.g., 3 rings. If Comcast voicemail is set to pick up in 4 rings, that would take care of your problem.

@user_ff121c, thanks for taking a look at the link! I just want to clarify, were you looking to completely remove the voicemail service from your account?

Xfinity Jimmy, 

Thanks for this answer.  I did follow these instructions and after spending one painful hour being asked questions, such as name address, etc, one by one at 10 minute intervals, the associate did claim that voicemail has been removed from my account.

I will test this on May 10 to make sure that it is gone.
