  1. Go to Settings > Notifications> Phone> then turn OFF Badge App button. The red dot should disappear from the phone icon.
  2. Check if the voicemail is working (which it should be). Call yourself from another phone and leave a message > Call voicemail and delete your message.
  3. Go back to Settings > Notifications> Phone> then turn ON Badge App button. The voicemail should now be working and the phone icon should now start showing the badges when you received an email.
