Red dot on phone icon and voicemail won't go away

hi there. Since early today I've had a blank red dot stuck on my phone icon on my phone. Same on the voicemail icon. This happened after deleting a voicemail I got earlier.
However the the icons are now stuck there and after switching my phone on and of I get a message saying New Voicemails. There is no voicemails though and none saved.
ive ive tried switching on and off, left myself another message and then deleted it but I'm getting no joy. Anyone got any ideas?

Please check the information in the following thread - How do I make the new voicemail notification (red dot) go away on iPhone 4?

Red dot on phone icon

I have iphone 5 and iOS7. After I get voice mail a red dot appears with number in it. I called my voicemail and deleted the message. Before the red dot dissappears. But it stays since iOS7. A while ago, I have to power off and on, then the red dot will be gone. But now I have iOS7.1 and no matter what I do, the red dot stays there forever! It's really annoy and could someone tells me how to get rid of it.

Hi 2 solutions I have read on this forum, one helped me.
First see if your cellular data is turned on. If not turn it on and see if the dot goes away. My did because without cellular you do not receive visual voicemail, so I assume the dot is alerting you to an issue.
The second suggested going to your carrier because there could be a conflict that only the carrier can resolve.
For more solutions search for 'unavailable visual voicemail red dot' and there may be more ideas.

I have a red "1" on my treasure hunt app icon and it won't go away no matter what I do...and it's driving me crazy! How do I make it go away?!? HELP!

There are no messages or updates that I can find so I don't know what it wants me to do...but it's been there for like 3 days.

Turn off Notifications for that app. I would also ask the developer.

Hi - I'm on a Mac - OSX 10.4.11 Trying to get DNG 6.7 installed. Says 'sucsessfull' but big line throght icon and app won't open. Previous DNG was 5.6 and was fine. Dragged it to trash to delete. and deleted trash. Then realised poss mistake and installed AppDelete and reinstaled 5.6 and draged to AppDelete - along with 6.7 then tried again to instal 6.7 but still no good. Any ideas what I can do? or where things have gone wrong and how can I fix? Thank you .

If this is a compatibility issue because you are using an older operating system then there isn't much you can do aside from updating your OS. Do you need DNG converter 6.7? You said that DNG converter 5.6 was working fine. You could reinstall it if it supports your camera.

Phone calls and voicemails meant for someone else.

Ever since I signed up for skype phone number I've been getting phone calls and voicemails meant for someone else. At first I thought that person probably use to have my current phone number but when I called back the most frequent caller, she said she's been dialing a number that doesn't match mine. So why am I getting her calls on my Skype number. And it's not just from her, I get calls from a lot of people trying to call someone else. It's so annoying. I don't even keep my Skype logged in on my mobile and I am missing calls meant for me and those calls was the whole point of having skype in the first place.

What do I do when I have a red dot on my voicemails and it won't go away and no one can leave me voicemails

There is a red dot in my voicemails and when I click on voicemails it calls it and says to type in my 10digit phone number and when I do it says it's not set up and I don't know how to do that. But then my friend called me and it stopped ringing on my phone and said I had a missed call from her but it kept ringing on hers. I don't know what to do!

Contact your carrier. Voice Mail is a carrier function, and setup and management differs from carrier to carrier.

Why does all my iPhones music have red dots next to them and won't go away?? HELP!!!!!

When h downloaded music on my iphone 5 four weeks ago, it had red dots next to every song and when I click on them they turn light red then back to red. They have a red circle with a red square in middle, and they won't load! :( They won't even let me delete the song HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!

I had this issue on my iphone 4, and two songs listed on the iPhone in iTunes had the dotted circle. I researched it, and I found a hundred different answers. Some were complicated like uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. All I did was this... In iTunes under Music, I simply unchecked Sync Music, and I deleted all music from my iPhone. I then checked Sync Music, chose all the songs I wanted. No songs in iTunes had dotted circles, and all songs on my iPhone played.

Can I opt to not get red dots on the icon

When an update is avaiable, a red dot is placed on the icon. I don't want this to happen. How can I stop this behavior? The option is to remove the icon from the dock. Is that what Apple wants me to do? (And consequently, not purchase anything from the app store.)

That's what the red dot is for. So you go and download the app, that way they let you know when an update is available, so you always have the latest version.
If you don't like it, just remove it form the dock and use the Launch Pad to start your apps. I set mint to activate with CTRL_ARROW UP. Love it.
I actually cleaned all junk from my dockm left only the bare essentials (mostly just built-in apps) and started using launch pad very heavily - minus the annoying app store red dots whih drove me up a freaking wall, same as you.
I know you can modify what the red dot displays in Mail, but I don't think you can disable red dot in wither Mail App Store or iWeb apps.
