My provider doesn't send voicemail notifications the usual way, but instead sends a text message instead.
This renders VM notifiers on most themes as useless wastes of space.
Has anyone heard of an app/theme/UI that can recognise these messages and add them to the voicemail notifiers? (This way, I could just click on the notification and have it dial up voicemail for me.)
Or has anyone heard of any app or anything that does anything interesting with this type of system?
Most voicemail (in the UK at least) seems to default to the annoying SMS notification, or the even more annoying ringback - If you're not able to take a call, why does voicemail think you will be able to 30 seconds later - duh! Anyway, rant over.
If you call your voicemail you should be able to get to the settings menu and change they way you are notified, from SMS to a voicemail icon.
Hope this helps.
Interesting. With this provider there is no other option. SMS notification only.
I have changed sim cards on Touch Pro. Now I am getting a New Voice mail notification and when I dial my Voice Mail, it says I don't have any new voice messages. But still I get this New voice message notification. Can any one please tell me how to get rid of this.
Thanks a lot in advance.
any one has the solution?
Put the old sim back in, and clear the voicemail. If you can't do that, try leaving yourself a voicemail, and see if the notification clears when you delete it.

Will give it a try.
I have this problem too, left 2 voice mails on my phone, both which didn't clear the notice on manilla.
You could download Hush SMS:

This can send (and remove) the message waiting indicator icon to your own phone and other people's phones. It works on my phone very nicely...
I had this happen to me the other day. Just call or have someone call and leave a voice mail, when you log into your voice mail, just delete it and it should reset it the rogue voicemail too.

Hello,
I faced this same problem for several time until I found this solution with HushSMS.
this is what i did...
- Put my own number in message recipient field
- Select Send, in the pop up menu select Send MWI/Voice/Deactivate
According to my experience, the Voice Mail Indicator is stored in the SIM Card when there is a Voice Mail VM in the Voice Mail Center. When VM is listened and deleted from VMC, VMC sends a "different SMS" telling the handset to delete VMI from the simcard. The problem comes when the handset do not understand this "Different SMS"... and apears as a strange SMS, as an empty SMS... but in any case, it does not delete the VMI.
The quick solution before was to take the SIM card and put it on another phone to delete it, but now with HushSMS I finally could delete this message.
Regards,
JM
Thanks guys

**** yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thanks, sending an MWI message with HushSMS did the trick!
I have a Capitvate running Stock Gingerbread 2.3.5. I am on a volunteer fire department and to go along with our pagers, we have a thing called "2nd Signal." What it basically does is sends a sms message to your phone when the pager goes off. On my 4s, I could assign a sms tone that is distinct to the 2nd Signal. The issue is that the sms message comes from an email address ([email protected]). The problem on the Captivate, is the programs I have tried only allow a custom sms message tone from a number. Any ideas of a program to use that will allow a custom sms tone from an email address? I have tried Ringo Lite and SMS Popup to no avail.
I love it when I stump people!
I see only one solution - you may install GoSMS Pro. It could hide messages from some contacts to private mailbox, which have separate notification settings.
Does anyone know how to remove the call back number on every single sms message I receive? Even if the person has it turned off on their phone it still shows up on mine when they send me a message. I would just use another messaging app because that fixes the problem but then I can send mms messages. I'm on a local carrier and can't find the settings to put in to fix this either. Any help is appreciated thanks.
*can't send mms I meant to say.
I keep getting notifications of Can't get MMS so I turn on Data and click the message on the notification screen. Nothing happens. I have received MMS recently so I think this is just one of those new advertisers sending me a MMS with no phone number. I'm using Textra as a messaging app and I have notification dots turned on. So the Textra Icon is showing a Dot but when I go into the app none of the entries in the history list has a dot. I don't know who is trying to send me MMS. This has to be fixed because it's like screening your phone calls. If you don't recognize the number I don't want to download the MMS. There seems to be no cancel option. This must be added. It can't be blocked because you don't know the number. Wouldn't it be great if you where able to block MMS or SMS with blank recipient phone number. Wouldn't it be great if robo callers where not allowed to set their phone number as blank. Wouldn't it be great if Robo callers were required to set a code that a phone app could read and bypass the call.
