Voicemail

[susanj]

I am getting frequent messages saying I have a new voice mail message from my own mobile phone number.
Why is this? The last one was 23 minutes ago. I don't dial voice mail, no point.
Any suggestions and help would be welcome please.
Thank you, Susan J.

I have blocked my own number but still received a message as previously. in the past hour.

Thank you, Susan Jenkins

Silly question but have you tried dialling 1760 to turn off voicemail?

[susanj]

I have turned off my messaging service and blocked my own phone number and I am still getting a voicemail message from my own phone number. The last one came an hour ago. I've given up, just ignoring the message.

Thank you, Susanj.

That must be so annoying. I would guess it's an app so I would look at the permissions that the apps have.

[susanj]

Thank you for everyone's suggestions.

My voicemail message has been turned off and I have blocked my number.

I have been on the O2 chat line twice and followed their instructions etc. to no avail.

 I am still getting the message:

(Symbol) Phone services- 10m     (time in minutes or hours, last one 10minutes ago, changes daily)

New Voicemail

Dial (own mobile phone number)

Thank you, Susan J.

What number are these messages coming from?

Thank you for all your suggestions.
I tried blocking my number, turning voice mail off etc. to no avail.
Then about a week ago the symbol disappeared and I am getting no more messages.

I had turned voice mail back on by then.

Thank you again for all your contributions.

The symbol eventually went but has now reappeared. I am just going to ignore it. 'It' tells me I have got a message from my own phone number. It still appreared when the answering service was switched off and I blocked my own number.
Thank you for all your  suggestions.

The voicemail wuld have expired, hence the reason for the notification disappearing.
