Turn off SMS notification of voicemail messages?
Gurus,
Given that I have an icon on the screen that indicates I've received a voicemail, I don't need the SMS notification as well. However, I can't seem to find the option to turn this off.
Having to constantly go in to clear SMS messages is a hassle I'd like to avoid.
Any suggestions?
TIA

Looking in "Options" now - not seeing "call" or "call voicemail"
I'm not seeing this under "Phone Options" or the plain "Options" menus. Under "Phone Options" > "Voicemail", my only choices are access number and password.
I'm running OS 4.2.2.176. if that makes a difference.
Any other suggestions?
TIA again,
GG
Call Voicemail Doesn't Have "Notification" Option
The only options I can configure here are the mailbox number and password - there's no provision for notification / no notification. I'm guessing that's just how this phone is configured by VZW.
Thanks to all who responded so quickly.

How to Turn off irritating txt msg announcing voicemail
This is one of those very non-intuitive tweeks. This is a function of your carrier, not your phone. Essentially, getting a message triggers Verizon, for example, to "outcall" [Don't you love the new, tech verbs?] your "pager" which is really your phone. This sends you a message that you have a message. Great.
You have to kill this by going into your own voicemail box. Here are the instructions from Verizon:
Enhanced Voice Mail Service
Enhanced Voice Mail is Voice Mail with Pager Notification. You'll be notified of messages deposited in your voice mailbox via your pager. When you see your cellular telephone number displayed on your pager, you'll know a message has been deposited. This feature may not be available with some pagers. Please contact Customer Service with your pager number in order to have Enhanced Voice Mail set up. Then follow these simple steps:
Set up your greeting.
Access your voice mailbox. Then from the main menu:
Press [4] for Personal Options.
Press [1] for Outcall Notification.
Press [1] to turn notification "ON".
Press [1] to return to Personal Options.
Press [4] to establish Pager Notification schedule.
