If you just hold down the 1 button for a few seconds, it'll take you to voicemail and ask for your password.

Are you roaming or in the extended network? Try calling your own phone number instead of *86.

If nothing else, when you hear your greeting, you can press # or *. One will make it skip your greeting and the other will ask for your password, though I can't remember which does which. Once you figure out which one does what you want, you can program that key press in to the number dialed to get to your voicemail.

Mine does this when I have my phone forwarded. Try dialing *73 which will unforward your phone in case it's forwarded.

First of all what do you guys use for voicemail? I received a voicemail earlier and it's telling me to call some 518 number and I did, put in my pin, deleted the message the voicemail sign is still on my notification bar and it's pissing me off seeing it there cause it's not supposed to be there!

Moreoever, I tried to download google voice (cause my friend with his G2 for tmobile uses it) for voicemail mainly, because it does visual voicemail which I love....and it wouldn't work on my phone. It said something about my carrier not supporting (verizon).

How do I get rid of that annoying voicemail sign on top of my notification bar I tried rebooting after deleting it but it's still there.

Voicemail is *86 on Verizon. I have no idea what you did.

Does anyone have issues with rooted GB and visual voicemail? I constantly get an error that voicemail cannot connect. Not sure if its related to GB or not.

Have you tried deleting cache/data to see if it fixes it?
