Hi,

When i turn on my nokia e61 there is always a voice mail indicator, but when i check to see if there are voice mail there are none. How do i turn off this message?

Thank You
 
You don't, it's a bug -- happens on my E50 and E60 both with T-Mobile in CA. I even tried sticking my SIM in a branded handset (Moto V360), it fired up no problem and no vmail alert. Stuck the SIM back in my E60 and boom, there it was again.

This wasn't happening some 3 weeks ago, I think T-Mobile did something to start triggering this bug in the handsets.
 
This has been plaguing me for some time on my E61. The only way to get rid of the VMI is to leave yourself a real message and then delete it. If you power cycle the phone again, it will show up again.

T-Mobile can't seem to do anything about it.
 
I had them delete and recreate my voicemail today, no luck - still there. Doesn't happen with branded phones, only my two E-series handsets. *shrug*

Strange, I have T-mobile with an e61 with no issues... What firmware are you on?

-olly
 
olly/angel - I agree, I think it's a T-Mobile bug; but, it's only (apparently?) in CA from what people around here are posting. I'm of course on the latest firmwares for all handsets -- what's strange is that this wasn't happening before I left on vacation last month, only since I've been back.

Unrelatedly they lost a tower near home, and I've been working with them for a week - I get no voice calls at home now, and voicemail notifications are 30mins delayed and SMS is delayed by ~15. Totally bites, I've missed work calls - and nobody knows what's wrong, they sent a guy to the tower and everything. *sigh*
 
Its not, take simcard out, place into another phone, a previous one that works when deleting Voice mail, give your self a voice mail. call up delete it and then place the simcard back in your (problem) phone. happened with my N73, done that and it was fixed.
 
BTW, same issue with Cingular. The only "fix" that I've found for this irritating issue is what others have said here: call myself and then delete that voicemail.
 
Same here -- had to wait until I got to work where I have real T-Mobile phones. Gave it a shot, still getting the phantom vmail on E60 boot. Oh well.
 
Once again, I tried a hard reset with the same outcome. Thanks anyhow for the suggestions. It is frustrating at first, then you learn to live with it. I have heard this happening for a friend with Cingular and a Moto phone, so who knows where the blame lies at this point?
 
Holy S**T. It is gone. I have tried many different scenarios, but I tried again this a.m. after updating the firmware on my E-61.

So, I started with my 6230. Left a VM and deleted it. The VMI then showed up in my 6822 (no message there). Went ahead and left a VM again and deleted it. Plunked SIM into E61 and voila, it's gone! Whew, what a relief!

Apologies to Domo-Kun. It seems like I did this before, but who knows?
 
I sold my E50 yesterday to a co-worker on T-Mobile here, just like myself -- we popped his SIM in after a fresh *#7370# and he does *not* get the phantom voicemail, which I continue(d) to get.
