Bring back temporarily disable voicemail?

One of the great selling features of Fido many years ago was the ability to continue to pay for voicemail but to temporarily disable callers being able to leave a message. It was a fantastic feature!

 

I'm getting too many calls from a relative and would like to disable the voicemail to hopefully discourage constant calling. I don't want to block their number at the moment.

 

I've just spent ages this evening calling my own phone in the hopes of filling up my voicemail. Not finished yet. I really shouldn't have to do that, ideally we should go back to the on-off feature.

 

I understand at the time people were thinking they wouldn't have to pay for the periods that they had disabled their voicemail (I don't know why they would have thought that) and that it created problems between the users & Fido. It seems to me that all would be required is I thorough explanation and perhaps periodic automated texts to remind people of the situation. 

 

Heck, I would pay extra to be able to use this feature again.

 

Please bring it back!
