So far great advice from YouGonaEatThat and DonB. Pretty uncommon issue but most certainly fixable. Check out How to remove the voicemail icon when there are no voicemails on your Android for some additional tips.

In a nutshell though you should,

Restart your phone (YouGonaEatThat)

Leave yourself a voice-mail and then delete it (Me)

Check your applications (DonB)

Backup and reset (Me) - if it’s a software bug or glitch (most likely) then performing a full backup and reset on an Android phone will typically solve these types of issues.

If for some reason a reset doesn’t fix it then I recommend you contact your Service Provider.

And you should be good to go. Good luck rcyphermd.
