Hi @Quinny2, welcome to our forum!
Since the Xperia L1 does not have the Xperia answering machine feature, you will need to get in touch with your operator and they should be able to turn the voicemail off on your subscription. If you have the number to your voicemail, you can try calling it and see if you can turn the service off yourself.
I hope that helps!
