Voicemail notification badge

Since this morning, I have persistently been getting a voicemail notification despite the fact that I have no new voicemails. I’ve tried restarting my phone, leaving myself a voicemail and resetting network settings but so far had no success. I’m using an iphone 13 on IOS 17.0.3.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Voicemail Notifications but Never Setup I have been getting red badge notifications on my phone app under voicemail all of a sudden. I never set up my voicemail. I don’t want voicemail. How is anyone able to leave voicemail if it’s not setup? I’ve tried resetting the phone and turning visual voicemail on and off, etc. Nothing will remove the red badge notifications. They just keep accumulating. I don’t set it up for a few reasons but mostly I’m always getting scam and spam calls. Now I have to deal with it when I don’t want to. I feel like I have to set up the voicemail to make the notifications go away and I don’t want to do that. I read on another forum this is a carrier issue, but I’m not sure. I have T-Mobile. It seems to only be happening since I updated my iPhone to iOS 17.1

Voicemail notification won’t clear Hi I have an iPhone 7 and am with Virgin mobile. I recently had someone leave me a voicemail so I received a notification, called my voicemail, listened to the message and deleted it. Days later, the ‘Phone’ app still has a red ‘1’ badge on it and I keep getting persistent notifications as banners and on my Lock Screen, despite me not having any voicemail messages. I have tried calling my voicemail and it just says ‘you have no new messages.’ I have tried turning my phone off and on again several times. I have tried turning off ‘badges’ for the ‘Phone’ app, turning the iphone off, then turning the iPhone back on again and turning the Badge notification back on again and it reappears. Please can anyone offer any alternative suggestions as it’s driving me crazy. Thank you.

Can't clear voicemail notification I have a notification badge on the phone app and when tap in, red dot on the voicemail section but there are no voicemails. I have listened to all voicemails, deleted them all. I have read a previous question on it and the solution: Settings > Notifications > Phone and turn off Badges. Restart your iPhone and turn Badges back on in the Notification settings and it does not help. I am now on iOS16, all up to date. Please help, this badge is annoying! LOL thanks!

Have you checked in your deleted voicemails? Sometimes they linger in there, and are unread. That would keep a persistent badge.

Hello biscuittea,

Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. We see you have a voicemail notification that won't go away. We can help out.

We see you restarted, let's see if force restarting will resolve the issue. Here is how: Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

Also, you might scroll down your history one more time and see if maybe one is marked as unread.

We hope this helps.

Cheers!
