Need help with SMS message telling me I have a voice mail, need to get rid of that

Question

I have done a few searches on the internet and have found nothing that fixes my problem.
I use two message boxes/folders, one is for phone calls and the other is for SMS/MMS messages.  I need to keep these this way (I am not searching though 100 text messages to find a phone number that is critical).
The problem occurred after I downloaded a new update (Jan 11th, 2010; think is like version 4.6 or something).  Before, if I got a call it showed up in my call message box/folder and if they left a voice mail I have a special ring tone for voice mail messages.   I also had it when I got a SMS/MMS message it went to its own "mailbox/folder" and had its own ring tone when a new one was sent.  Now when I get a voice mail message due to the fact I also get a SMS/MMS message I only hear a text message ring tone (not good).
I need to know the instant I get a voice mail, the text messages are a nice thing to have for my significant other and friends.  If I walk out of a location that I did not have reception and I get a voice mail, I now think its a text message and get to it when I can even though I needed it then.
Example: just think of leaving a building with your hands full heading to point B, when the voice mail told you a correction and divert to point C;
voice mail = hold everything and get the message all good
text message = head to point B, see a problem and pray you get to point C before anything bad happens).
I went to my local Sprint/Nextel store and they told me there was nothing I could do.
If this can't be fixed I will be forced to get another cell, then everyone including me will sufer because we will have to pay for it (just think taxes).
I feel exahusted in looking for a solution, if there is not one then blackberry needs to do an update.
Provided its a software problem that needs an update or maybe I am not to bright to find where to turn this off.
My questions about this would be:
1.  How does the phone get a text message, does it generate it from my phone number or the phone number where my voice mail is sent
2.  Once I know which number it is being sent from, can I put a text block on it
3.  Last but not least, will it solve the problem?
Thanks
Incase it does not show up I have a Blackberry Curve 8350i from Nextel OS V4.6.313

This is a peer-to-peer community.
All people responding are user just like you.
However, many of are users have solved many problems for other blackberry users in need of assistance.
If you see you haven't been responded to in a long time, just reply 'bump' on the same thread you originally posted.
The term 'bump' is used because a thread remaining unanswered usually moes down the list and gets lost in older pages. By replying to a post, it gets moved ("bumped") back to the top of the first page of that category.
If you see a solution to your problem, feel free to mark it as a solution. Also you can thank the user who helped you or give him a 'kudo'. A 'kudo' is the little star found underneath the avatar (picture) of the user. It's like giving them credit for the work they did.
Welcome to the community! We hope to see you posting soon.
