Yes this should work as well. sometimes the mail waiting indicator (MWI) gets hung in the swtich. This kinda gives it a kick

DUH! I feel like an *****. That fixed the problem. Ugh, I hate when there are message icons on my screen. Perhaps I have OCD.

Thank you. It really help me.

I've tried pulling the battery on my Blackberry Verizon Curve, going to Verizon VM and leaving the system properly by hitting *, also calling my Voicemail and leaving a message while using another phone. None of this worked in getting the Fake Voicemail icon off of my phone.

If I recall correctly there is something specific that must be done to get that thing cleared so that it no longer tells you that there is voicemail when there is none. I've never had the icon persist after getting a new voicemail for the purpose of accessing voicemail to delete it to clear the icon. And that was always on other phones. I never had a problem with that while I had my BB. I hardly have ever had problems and I have been a customer with sprint for over 12 years now and always wonder why so many other have issue with them

The leave yourself a voicemail, listen, and delete method is a terrific workaround. I've used it often.

I'm with you thinking it's a carrier glitch. It used to happen once in a while on my Sprint 8330m, but it has never happened on my 9650 ... when I'm on the Sprint network. Sometimes it happens when I switch to gsm (to my T-Mobile SIM card), and there's a voice mail there. I never check it from the T-Mobile SIM (I use that for sending certain international texts), because I don't want to use my prepaid minutes on voice. Instead, I switch back to CDMA/Sprint, and check my T-Mobile voicemail from there. Then I delete it. Usually the voicemail notification icon disappears, but sometimes it stays. That makes me think it's carrier or network related.
