visual voicemail - repeated notification text

Maspiers — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 19:05:18 GMT

For the past few days I'neen getting flurries of texts: "Thanks for activating Visual Voicemail. Note: if you have data turned off, or can't get data coverage, you'll need to dial 901 to check for messages."

This suggests something wrong at o2's end.

Is there a way of turning this off?

@Maspiers

Unless your phone supports VVM (not many do) you need to turn off VVM in your phone settings.

Its a bug in how Android is reporting your phone has reported its been restarted to the Network which means o2 thinks VVM has been turned on.

This mostly affects Xperia handsets, and I get this on my Xperia Pro-I when I reboot

Affects out-of-the-box Google Pixel 6a as well, @Maspiers - go into Dialler settings and flick this switch to "off":

It may return next time updates are applied, so make a note 👍

More like a bug with O2's system.

Of course, if more phones had been supported, as promised years ago, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

I am experiencing this but my phone (pixel 5) does not have this setting?
