I bought an international unlocked GT-I9300 (it came from Germany/Vodafone). I am currently using it on T-Mobile USA prepaid and all is fine except I have a voicemail notification and associated icon on the home screen that I cannot get rid of.
The notification message says "Dial 5500" that I tracked down to the number used for accessing the Vodafone voicemail.
My assumption is that this is a pre-configured voice message for new Vodafone customers and because I am not not using Vodafone as my carrier I cannot clear it simply listening to the message.
Are there other ways to do it? I tried a software reset (pressing the power button for 10 secs) but it did not help.
I am using the stock firmware.
Thanks!

I have an unlocked XDA (32Mb). I am using it on Virgin (this uses the T-Mobile network). Problem is when I have a voicemail, after I pick it up, the voicemail icon doesn't clear so I have to soft reset . Has anyone experinced this? and/or is there a fix?
Orange have the same problem, the only way i've found is to delete your message then stay on the line for 5-6 seconds more before hanging up, then the icon seems to clear properly.
I tried deleting the voicemail message and staying on the line for about 20 seconds, but the icon still remains. The onyl way to get rid of it is still to soft reset
Hi
I just bought a Galaxy S II and as soon as I put my Canadian Fido sim card
the voicemail notification appeared.
I tried different things but it does not want to go away.
I left a message to myself and then I listened it from my S II, I deleted it
and I press # to hung up but again nothing.
I removed my sim card and I inserted it again but nothing.
I erased everything on the phone and I set it up from scratch again nothing.
Finally I called Fido and I told them to reset my voicemail which they did
but again nothing.
As soon as I put my sim card to my motorola Atrix or my nexus one I dont get the voicemail indicator.
Has anyone faced this problem?
How do I remove the voicemail indicatior
Thanks
Simple answer: You can't.
You can turn the sound off of the notification but it's something sent from the carrier usually. Have you tried another SIM in the phone to see if it still stays there?
If not I'd say the first port of call -- as always -- is a factory reset.
I would have agreed with you but if my carrier where in this case Fido
keeps sending me the voicemail notification dont you think
I would have the notification to my motorola Atrix or Nexus one?
Also I called them up and they reset my voicemail
I did try a factory reset twice
Hi,
I just got an S2 and before I setup all my calls to go to Google Voicemail, i got a voicemail through AT&T. I deleted it, set up google voicemail, and now the icon is stuck saying I have a voicemail even though I don't. In fact, if I check it, it says no messages (AT&T voicemail). Anyway to get rid of this without setting AT&T voicemail back up and leaving myself a message and deleting it?
Note to self wouldn't work for me either

I need help to remove a voicemail notification on my Galaxy Nexus with stock ICS, unrooted.
Here's the catch: the voicemail message has a registered phone number (the carrier's voicemail number). However, the carrier changed this number, so if I try to access the voicemail through the notification, the number doesn't exist anymore. Accessing the new number does not remove the notification.
Is there a way to change this?
Already tried clearing phone app data with no luck. Thanks!

What voicemail app are you using?
None. Just whatever Android uses to handle carrier voicemails.

I got voice, lte, and sms working on my i545 using a new T-Mobile account. I don't have mms or voicemail working. I can live without mms for now but voicemail is important. I tried holding the number 1 key down and that didn't work. In the notification bar I get a message, "New Voicemail Dial *86." That gives me "number not in service..." message. I found the 805-637-7243 number but its not recognizing key presses. I tried T-Mobile's app and it didn't work. I tried YouMail and it didn't work either. Whoda thunk setting up voicemail would be tough? Usually the tough part is getting your voice to sound good.
Can anyone offer any insight?

I understand, its a Verizon phone.
As it turns out the problem is more serious. The phone dialer's dialpad isn't sending the numbers to any phone. For example, when a menu system says press 1 to continue, pressing 1 doesn't do anything.

I solved the keypad problem by replacing the dialer. That allowed me to setup T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail.
I think I solved the mms problem by changing the Mobile virtual network operator type from None to SPN. Then changed the Mobile virtual network value from Verizon to T-Mobile. Then changed the type back to None. Maybe a fluke.
So everything appears to be working but only after I receive a phone call. After a reboot, on the bottom of the lock screen, it says,"No service emergency call." When you pull down the notification bar, it says, "No service" at the bottom of the screen. Outgoing calls work fine. Incoming sms works fine. The 4G LTE icon is active and I get internet service. But mms and sms do not send. When it gets an incoming phone call, the pulled down notification bar changes from No service to T-Mobile and everything works as it should. Calling myself doesn't do the trick, it has to be a different phone. Can anyone diagnose my issue by these symptoms?
The phone is an I545, baseband NC5, towelrooted, T-Mobile sim and service.
