fios voicemail - cannot listen to a new message until I listen to and erase an old-saved message

bubba024

This voicemail is a nuisance. Anyone annoyed with having to listen to old messages before you can hear the new voicemail message. This feature only applies to FIOS internet voicemail. no one else has this dumb feature.

Any solutions other that getting out of FIOS?

Personally I don't use the voicemail feature at verizon, instead using a phone with message recording.
