Regular voicemail notification not clearing after using visual voicemail
I have the same question that was asked in esta discusión, which was marked as "assumed resolved" but doesn't have answers. I have an LG G8. When I get a voicemail, I get two notifications: one is for visual voicemail and one is for regular voicemail. If I open the visual voicemail app and play the message, the notification for visual voicemail clears, but the notification for regular voicemail persists. I have tried syncing/refreshing the visual voicemail page, but the notification for regular voicemail persists. I have tried waiting, but the notification does not go away. The only way to get the notification for the regular voicemail to go away is to call in to the non-visual voicemail and listen to the message there as well. The phone does not permit me to block notification from the regular voicemail app or to disable the app. I prefer using visual voicemail to the call-in method. Any suggestions for how to get rid of the notification from the call-in voicemail app without listening to every message twice?
Hola @movielover
Thanks for taking the time to post to our community! Is this something that just started by chance or has it always been this way? It sounds like the network is not syncing properly when you check the VM and that is something that we would need to get refreshed for you. If you have a moment, please give our folks over the phone a call so we can get a support ticket opened for this issue.
2023 Samsung S23 Ultra here. Nice phone - but still same issue. Further, no 'refresh' option with hitting those 3 dots in voicemail. The persisting voicemail notification after viewing the visual voicemail is a pest.
Mia Ima - your answer worked. Thank you!!
I went to the visual vm app and clicked the top 3 dot button and hit refresh and the notification disappeared after. Maybe this could help!
So , No fix here? Thanks for nothing TMobile

I don't see Voicemail even listed IN settings anymore. Visual yes, regular no.
Any fix here?
My question is similar, along the same lines as the others above, but what I most need to know is, how to totally disable the voicemail that requires you to dial something, and use ONLY Visual Voicemail? Everytime I click the notification that I have a voicemail, it always goes straight to the phone dialer version of voicemail, which I NEVER EVER want to use; I have Visual Voicemail set up, so it should ONLY use that, NOT the very-annoying one that you have to dial.
How do I fix this?

I recently bought the Samsung A32. The voicemail notification would not got away after reviewing the voicemails through both the vvm app and dialing. I forced stopped the phone app through settings, and voila, notification gone. May not work for every phone but it did for this model.
This has been happening to me for 6 months since I got my Galaxy A71 5g. If I have to call the voicemail to remove the notication, I may as well stop paying for visual voicemail due to redundancies.
