Voicemail not deactivating

Just wondering if anyone has had this issue. Recently moved to Smarty from EE now that Wi-Fi calling is available and which is the only option for me on any network at my address. I never use voicemail and found that the default position was that my phone would ring about 5 times and then divert to voicemail. 
Contacted smarty via live chat and so far have chatted with 4 different people as, despite being told voicemail has been deactivated, the ONLY thing which has been deactivated is my access to it. I am still getting voicemail notifications which I now canโ€™t access and if anyone calls the phone diverts as before. I had been advised to 

1.Switch off phone, remove SIM , wait 3 mins -try again

2.Call ##002# - I get confirmation of deactivation but line still diverting

I have left this matter to be โ€œresolvedโ€ by their back office team as no one appears to know why this is happening. I am and always have been in the UK since I started with Smarty. I keep getting a response from Smarty to say voicemail has been deactivated but it hasnโ€™t. Iโ€™ve suggested someone from the caringโ€™s my number to see what they get but as customer support appears to be offshore unsurprisingly no one ever takes me up on that option. 3days on Iโ€™m still awaiting a promised email to say this matter has been resolved

@Richard_3137456 Worth raising a Complaint here I think.

That said, there do seem to be a number of instances of this problem.
