Help, I don't want a text message when I have a new voice mail
- amazinglygracelessRetired ModOriginally posted byCrazEtooN's
When you get the voicemail notification and it gives you the pop up with the choice to "save" or just click "ok," never click save. All save does is give you a message copy of the notification in your text inbox, and it has no affect on your actual voicemail whatsoever. Just click ok, and you won't get a message anymore. I got three voicemails today, and I have not one notification of it in my text inbox by doing what I said.
To prevent a log of calls ending up in your text inbox, do the following:
1. Get to the phone screen (press the green phone button)
2. Press menu (button left of trackball)
3. Click on Options
4. Click on Call Logging
5. Choose None
6. Press the back key and be sure to click "Save" when prompted
Done.10-13-08 08:32 AMLike 0 - I don't think there is a way to turn off the voice mail notification. Its not controlled by the device but by voice mail service itself, so IF there is a way to turn that feature off you would find that option in the voice mail settings when you check your messages.

- I am not sure what part I skipped. My settings are just as you listed, the only thing is I don't get anything that pops up asking if I want to save. My phone just vibrates as if I have a text message and it is there.
Am I missing something else? I always found this a dumb feature and would like to stop it.10-13-08 08:53 AMLike 0 - amazinglygracelessRetired ModReread the text above what you quoted and that should get
you there. It did for me.10-13-08 08:55 AMLike 0 -
Perhaps these differences are device/os/carrier specific?10-13-08 08:56 AMLike 0 -
I have to come down on the other side with this one. I've had mine set exactly as you describe from day one, and have always received a text message for any new voicemail. Additionally, I get no such "save OR ok" prompt upon receipt of the SMS voicemail notification.
Perhaps these differences are device/os/carrier specific?10-13-08 08:59 AMLike 0 - amazinglygracelessRetired ModI just went back and checked the info for the poster I cited
and yes we are both on AT&T, so may it is carrier specific.
I just can't imagine that it would be, but you never know.10-13-08 09:25 AMLike 0 - 10-13-08 10:29 AMLike 0
- I use YouMail; it's good stuff, the transcription isn't 100% accurate, but it gives you an idea of what the message is about before you listen to the message; plus you can delete voicemails without having to listen to them.10-13-08 10:51 AMLike 0
