NEW VOICEMAIL notification stays on

One the voicemail has been heard and deleted the icon on the phone should disappear (like it does on the S3 etc). By staying on it leads you to think you have another one.

once you play the voicemail the icon will disappear, it takes a minute sometimes

'New voicemail' notification issue

My iPhone 4 is showing a 'new voicemail' notification, but when I call I don't have a voicemail? Is there a way to reset the notifications or has anyone else experienced this?

There is a 3rd party program called Kate (used to be Caterpillar), which among many other things allowed you to customize the notification settings. I used Caterpillar way back when with a Jailbroken iPhone, so I don't know if they are offering their products through the legit channels now or not (mind you, it never worked consistently).
You can find them here. It looks like they are still offering this product, but may be not through the App store. You would have to install it yourself, so proceed at your own risk:

I too brought up this feature way back when I bought my first iPhone. It is simply absurd. Apple or someone else will hopefully address this ASAP.
+And as for Mr Anderson, this is not something that would be pointed out on the specs of a device. Even the simplest analog answering machine way back in the 1980's had a persistent beep to notify you if there were messages waiting for you. And EVERY cell phone I have EVER owned has had this feature, so it is perfectly understandable that those of us who find this a great omission, would like to voice our discontent.+
+As for this NOT being the proper place to ask for feature requests, you are plain wrong. Many a times there are workarounds and 3rd party solutions that we would never hear about if everyone was to simply submit their requests to Apple. Also this is a great way to find out if others share your point of view or not. Even if Apple does not officially read these forums, I can guarantee you that given enough critical mass behind an issue, they will find out about it. I know, because I happen to be a software developer and have experienced this many times first hand.+
Thank you EVERYONE for sharing and posting even if you are don't have as many posts as others...

New Voicemail Notification Not Disappearing

So I've been having this problem for about a month now. The New Voicemail notification is not going away after I check my voicemail, even if I don't have any voicemails. I figured the notification would go away after I updated to Android 2.2, but it's still there. I'm using the basic Verizon Wireless Voicemail, if that helps. Anyone know how to get rid of this. A friend told me I would have to restore the phone to factory settings, but I'm trying to avoid that.

Bumping this. Anyone else ever have this problem?

How do I make the new voicemail notification (red dot) go away on iPhone 4?

I got a voicemail and listened to it and deleted it. now the little red dot over the phone icon is still on and won't go away. I have iPhone 4 and just updated to 4.3.5. I'm with TELUS in Canada. Any help would be apreciated.

why did you revive a thread that had been dead for two years? next time, make sure you're posting on an active thread.

I had the exact same problem. Iphone 5s on SpeakOut711/Rogers, Canada. There was no voicemail message, and yet the voicemail icon one the phone (dual spools thingy) stays on, regarless of how many times I check my voicemail.
I got it to 'reset' like this:
- Call your own cell phone and leave yourself a voice message.
- Wait for a few minutes.
- Check your voicemail from your cell phone by pressing (touching?) the voicemail icon which has the red dot (although it may also work if you checked via land line, but not sure).
- Delete your message.
You will notice that the icon disappears as soon as you hangup your call. It looks like some voicermail notification sync error between phone and the service provider.
Hope this helps someone.

New voicemail notification

My iphone 4 shows an unread voicemail (red dot) with shaw.ca as our phone provider. There are no unread voicemails or no saved voicemails. We tried rebooting but not sure what else to try. Please help!

Some of my messages were taking up to 6 hours to show up. I finally called AT&T and got a real tech guy on the phone, not a customer service tech guy. After walking me through dozens of steps he called Apple. We were all on the phone for 1 hour. They had to completely zapp my account and start from scratch. That didn't work. They think it's a bad SIM. AT&T is FedEx'ing me a brand new one now. The funny thing is, a few hours after all this, my messages are now showing up within 3 minutes. Go figure.

New Voicemail Notification Taking Over an Hour To Show Up?

Has anyone run into this issue? And if so, does anyone know any tips on how to improve it?
It seems like my iPhone takes up to an hour for the 'new voice mail' notification to appear... which can be very frustrating. I searched around, but wasn't able to locate any info on this issue.
If anyone has any tips, please let me know... thanks so much.

Problem with home phone voicemail notification

Hey guys,
Both with my old phone as well as my new phone (AT&T CL81209 DECT 6.0 Cordless telephone) I have been noticing problems with the voicemail notification on the phone since my move of service. I thought I used to have it where it would have the clicks when you first turn on the phone, but I don't hear them anymore. Is there anything that I am doing wrong? My phone should automatically display when I have a new voicemail notification.
Thanks!

Are you referring to the stutter dial tone when you first take receiver off hook, or the vm light indicator, in either case please send me a pm with your phone number and I will look into this for you. Thanks

Previous user, new Iphone 5= must have messaging in order to continue receiving VOICEMAIL NOTIFICATIONS: result Plan Upgrade required.

That is the news you did not get from Apple or Verizon.
So, if you want to get their new phone and stay with your current plan, data must be added AND texting too!
For many users- no big deal;
those who wish to avoid texting and all related expense, too bad! There is no workaround.
For me it is an additional $10 to $20 monthly increase. Just to continue getting VOICEMAIL NOTIFICATIONS like I did for almost 30 years.
It is time to stop going back to these business leaders and taking their extortion in stride.

To further clarify;
The Data plan IS required and additional cost accepted-
The Messaging was never disclosed as a requirement- additional cost unplanned and unacceptable.
Footnote... I have seen on some info blogs mention of resetting network to resolve--- it may be possible I was mis-directed, and further testament to the utter frustration.

What types of notification can I set to indicate a new voicemail receipt?

What types of notification can I set to indicate a new voicemail receipt?
I still haven't trained myself to check regularly for voicemails and find that it sometimes takes me days to notice a new voicemail.
If I could set a distinct sound, that would be great.
Or automatically receive a text message.
Or even automatically receive an email.
What's possible?
Steve

Thanks to you both but a simple sound alert for new voicemail isn't what I was looking for. That kind of alert happens once and then "disappears".
I believe what Modular says is true, but the kind of notification that "lasts" (a text or email notification) is the kind I want to set. I want the iOS to help me remember that I have unlistened-to voicemails.
Hope that makes sense.
How do I suggest a text or email notification for voicemail to Apple iOS programmers?

HT201436 My voicemail notification is no longer showing up on my iPhone 4. Help!

I changed my Verizon plan from a contract to pre-paid. Now the notification icon no longer appears when I have a new voicemail. How can I bring it back?

Is your airplay device connected to the same WIFI network as your ipad? I would restart the ipad and the device if they are. And, are you sure your accessing the icon by double tapping the home button and swiping to the right in the multi task bar?

Droid Charge has no data roaming, bogus voicemail notification

Recently traveled and was unable to use any data services while 3 hrs from home in places where I know they have 3G or 4G, like Raleigh, Greensboro, Charlotte. My husband has a Droid Incredible and his phone had 3G the entire time. My new phone had 1x or nothing. Called Vz support and they had me switch to the CMDA instead of LTE auto switching. Made minimal difference. After I switched it, the phone randomly picked up a 3G signal, but hubby's phone kept his 3G Vz signal the whole time. Also, whenever my phone is rebooted, my voicemail notification comes up saying I have a voicemail message, dated Dec. 2004! But there is no message. Happens every time my phone turns back on. Very weird. Anyway, it really is annoying to have this nice phone and not be able to use Internet or get email when I am away from home.

Tammy, welcome to the club, not a great club to be in. I and many many like you (just google up the various forums) have the same situation as you except my wife has the Verizon Iphone and I've got the Charge. More times than I'd care to mention, I have no data and she has a solid 3G signal. She's getting fed up with my ongoing line "Honey, can I see your phone for a minute". Don't bother with master resets, battery pulls, going in and out of airplane mode, switching from LTE to CDMA, they all are short term (seconds, minutes?) solutions to a far more serious issue with either the hardware, the software, the towers of a combination of all of these. Unfortunately the latest OTA software update did little to nothing for this particular issue. It did solve the mobile hotspot issue, but for me it did nothing on the more important issue of data connectivity.
I don't expect this will be fixed until the 2nd gen 4G phones come out. This is an issue with ALL Verizon's 4G phones...bar none. I've seen it in my numerous trips to Verizon stores and playing with the LG, TBolt and Charge. In fact when I went to a Verizon store yesterday, it seemed the TBolt was faring worse. I'm sure Verizon knows they've got a serious issue here and I think there's only so much they can do given the hardware they're dealing with. The fact that the OTA software update was supposed to address this issue shows that Verizon knows the issue exists. In our area (Long Island), I can't imagine any Verizon store employee with a Charge or other 4G phone that hasn't experienced this themselves.
Such is the price for being on the cutting edge.

Voicemail notification stuck after reset.

Okay, I have had a notification ever since I moved my sim to an android phone, originally I had an iPhone, then an xperia Z3c, I noticed that every time I restarted the phone I would get a persistent notification which reads "New voicemail (xxxx)" x=voicemail number. After this I've moved to a S6 and the notification issue is still persistent, at the moment I have been short term fixing it by clearing the phone cache. Any ideas?

Hi Have you recently updated to Lollipop? I have checked the Android forums and it has happened to a number of peopleMaybe our android experts or could advise?Meanwhile have a look at this article here on how to remove voicemail icons.http://www.smartmobilephonesolutions.com/content/remove-voicemail-icon-android

Message Notifications Stay On Screen

Hi,
I have an iPhone 5 16Gb with iOS6. While working in applications (Safari and others), If I receive a text message or imessage the notification stays on screen until I select it or click the home button.
I have checked under Settings and I haven't seen any new features that may have changed the behavior. Has anyone else had this problem and if so have you found a solution outside of an OS update?
-Jo

Couple of things you could try:
Reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release
Force-close the Messages app: from the home screen, double-tap the home button, locate Messages in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it
Change the notification alert style for messages to Alerts or None, then back to Banners

My voicemail notification doesn't go away on my 3GS but I have no voicemail

My voicemail notification doesn't go away on my 3GS but I have no voicemail. My phone has been shut off and when it restarts I get the popup saying new voicemail as well, but there is none.

Follow the instructions under the heading "How to unlink a phone number" on this page.

Phone says "New voicemail(1)" but if I log into voicemail there are no new messages. How can I clear this?

Oh no SN95GT50, great question. I am sure seeing that notification is annoying. What make/model phone do you have? If you have an Android device, you can go into Settings, Application Manager, Voicemail, Clear Cache. Let us know if you are still needing assistance.
