Voicemail Notification Will Not Go Away

[Anonymous]

Every time I turn my phone on or restart it I get a notificiation for a new voicemail. I don't use voicemail and have it switched off. When I phone 901 it confirms that I don't have any voicemails. I have tried my SIM in another phone and even in an Apple phone and get the same notification every time. I have tried calling ##002# to clear everything and even that won't work. What can I do to get rid of this notification once and for all! Thanks.

Turn on your voicemail and call yourself from another phone.
Leave a voicemail message.
Call voicemail on your own phone and listen to your new message, then delete it.
This should remove your false indicator.

I have just done this. The notification is still there.

Try rebooting phone too

Ahh, it appears to have gone now. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Thank you for your prompt assistance.

No problem and welcome to the forum

Normally leaving yourself a voicemail the listening and deleting removes the icon.

Read messages on voicemail, cleared cache, forced stopped app, cannot remove the notification due to android preventing from changing notification settings for any android feature. Help.

Have you tried leaving yourself a message, listening and deleting it?

That has sorted the issue for others @sUser.

I'll also add the community guide about voicemail in case any of that helps.
