I have an old LG G5 that was on T-Mobile and now has no carrier service. Every time I start it and also multiple times per day, I get alerts that there is no Voice service and the SIM is not provisioned. Also, it will turn mobile data back on with every restart. I use this phone simply as a means of being away from my work (from home) desk so I can still access company email and IM. For that I only need wifi, nothing more.
My ideal world would have this phone never turning on mobile data, never warning me that there's no voice (or data) service, and never alerting https://vlc.onl me about the SIM not being provisioned.
I have tried long-pressing these notifications and both bring me to the app "Call services" with one available option: Icon badge. Turning this off has no effect on the notifications.
Any suggestions will be warmly welcomed, even if they don't work.
Note: I was somehow able to kill a similar alert about Data service, but have not had the same success with Voice service even after doing the same things.
i don't understand: did you eject out the sim card?
Use airplane mode. That should solve the problem

Folks,
I am on a prepaid account and I am so sick of my carrier sending me a
notification after each call, each sms or each 3G session! Is there a
way to disable this? This can NOT be done through notifications or by
editing settings under HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\
This gets especially annoying when you are rapidly firing off txt
messages in succession because the pop-up effectively hinders your
ability to do this quickly and effectively. An example of this
carrier notification is when you send a command with *646* to T-Mobile
and it comes back with the numbers of minutes you have remaining on
your current plan. That is user-driven, of course, so it is not a
problem. The issue is with carrier-based notifications that are
automatic. I have called my provider to no avail. They claim this
cannot be turned off in their system (TOTALLY not true or all pre-paid
systems in the world would have this problem).
Thanks in advance.
Yup, I can confirm this is the case in India too!. This notification seems to be triggered by USSD service in the OS or whatever. Unfortunately, no success in turning it off.
Man, this is horrible, it is really killing the joy of using my Kaiser. If any of you super dev studs have any idea, please let us know. There just HAS to be a way! Nothing the gurus here can't manage.
Hello, I have only had my touch pro a few days and when I try to access my voicemail I get to the part to enter my pin, then it tells me "first new message..." and then it hangs up. Is this a known issue? I tried searching the forum and in fact all of google, but nothing.
Any ideas?
I've had the same issue here in the Netherlands.
Disconnect when I called my own VM, also a disconnect when I tried to leave a message at a friend.
Both are in the TMobile network.
Just tried it again, but it workes ok now
solved
I figured it out for my phone. When I put my sim card in, the phone auto detects settings for sms, mms, data and voicemail. Here in Canada, providers have several different voicemail retrieval numbers and the phone autodetected the wrong one. I thought that since it did work at least somewhat, that the number was not the issue.
Contact your service provider and make sure your phone didn't choose the wrong retrieval number too
So I have a 2015 16gb/2gb Moto G running on the Three network in the UK.
My problem is a recurring voicemail notification that will just NOT go away.
The notification can be swiped away but returns after a reboot or every time the phone loses and regains mobile signal. It survives a hard reset. I have checked my voicemail, left myself new messages and deleted them - all to no avail.
The notification goes away if I kill the Phone Services system app but always comes back on a signal loss/regain.
Three Customer Service have tried de-activating/activiating my voicemail service - all to no avail.
Pretty much out of ideas now !
This is a carrier issue, the voicemail notification comes with an update signal from your carrier or a query of message status from the device, not the phone itself. When you reboot or lose signal and reconnect, the phone queries the VM service to see if there are messages waiting, if their are the notification is enabled.
Have you tried having someone leave you a real message, then listen to it and delete it? Other than that, you need to go back to Three, and if their customer service can't understand what is going on, call tech support or try moving up to a higher tier of tech support. This is clearly a carrier issue and not a device issue.

Did you come up with a solution? I have a similar problem. On a recent trip outside my carrier's area (AT&T) I received a voicemail just before take off. After arriving the area (outside AT&T) service, my phone still showed the VM icon. While out of town I managed all my AT&T voicemails via remote access. The VM icon remained because I never connected over an AT&T network. Now that I returned home, the voicemail is gone but the icon has remained in place. I have tried many of the methods you listed, but no luck.
Update: I killed all phone services, cleared cache & data. Problem resolved.
Hello,
I got an S6 through Verizon. It's unlocked. So I'm using it on Total Wireless. Everything was activated last night and was working great. Then, I wake up this morning to check my phone, and as soon as I lit up the screen ALL of my notifications came through that once. I have it set to always allow notifications on the lock screen, wifi sleep is set to always allow connection even in sleep, and data saver is off. I used to have an Asus Zenfone that would do the same thing if it was connected to a router using IPv6. Are there any fixed or known reasons why the S6 does this?
Secondly, out of nowhere today, my phone stopped sending texts and calls. Data was working on everything EXCEPT Facebook Messenger. So before calling Total Wireless, I tried restarting, power cycling, removing and replacing the SIM, resetting network settings, changing it from Global to LTE/CDMA only, and so much more. I eventually caved and called. The reore had me dial *76 to disable call forwarding, although I never even enabled call forwarding. Would that be the main culprit to the issue that I was experiencing? I mean, randomly not sending texts and calls and saying "searching for service" even though it clearly had full signal of LTE and data was still working sounds pretty odd to me. Any ideas?

I'm having this issue today as well did you ever figure this out ..the call forwarding automatically turning on?
Hi. I have a strange problem. I rooted my "new" spare phone, Oneplus 3, with Magisk and installed EdXposed. I don't know if that is anyway relevant. I first bought a prepaid mobile subscription from one local operator and started using the phone with only wlan internet connection. I didn't make any calls or txt or mobile data or anything at all that costs money and still my balance decreased. I thought maybe there is a problem with the operator and so I bought a new prepaid mobile subscription from another operator. Same problem, balance decreases even when I don't do anything that's supposed to cost money. Only wlan internet connection. Mobile data is switched off.
Is there any way to see what is causing my balance to decrease? Does this sound like a malware etc.? Any tips what to do?
@Tohtori my idea would be to turn on flightmode and then connect to wifi and check if balance still decreases.
But if you need mobile connection for phone calls you can use either AFWall+ or Netguard-No-Root.
Both can block either mobile or Wlan for each app separately no matter if system or user wise installed.
I use both on different devices and the blocking ability is great.
Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately neither flightmode nor firewall did solve the problem. However AFWall+ app seems to be very usefull for another purposes, so thanks for the tip.
I installed Root Call SMS Manager app, which allows to block incoming and outgoing calls, sms and ussd. This is how I found out, that my phone sends in the background sms containing only word STATUS to number 900080006200.
Any idea how to get rid of the issue?
When I searched the Internet for that number 900080006200, lots of results mentioned it had something to do with Verizon. I have an app called Device ID Masker. It can be used to fake all sorts of information. I had selected "random all" option which among other things changed my operator name to Verizon. I reseted all the settings in that app to default, lets see if the problem ceases to exist.
It seems that the problem is solved.
