Hi Windraven7,


We'd like to help give some helpful ideas on resolving your concern with your Voicemail. It sounds like the dot is indicating a Voicemail or even missed call. With the Voicemail feature, this is carrier controlled option. Looking over Check your voicemail on iPhone it will cover this. We would recommend reaching out to your carrier to look into this, and if they refer to support for Apple you can contact Apple Support via the link.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
