Blank Red Dot Won't go away iPhone 5

So, earlier in class today I got a call from a wrong number and now I have a blank red dot over the phone app, I googled this and this means I have a voicemail. One thing, I don't have voicemail. Since I'm only 17, I don't have people calling me (and a limited number of people who have my number) so I don't need voicemail. How do I get rid of it without setting up a voicemail or disabling this badge app notifications since I need to know when I have a missed call since it's usually from my parents.

iPhone 5, 7.04 and my carrier is Telus.

I've reset it and I've reset the network settings.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

I just deleted the red dot getting an additional voice message and deleting it. I tried many solutions before, but this worked fine

I was just surfing net for the solution. However when i returned to my iphone to apply the fix the red dot mysteriously went away. Dont know how but it did!!!

It was there for more than a week.

Would have to call that a "workaround" for a bug that obviously exists in the apple software. Would be nice if the basic features of a phone would work correctly all the time.
