The nagging Visual Voice mail update icon and how do I get rid of it?

Can anyone tell me if I were to perform this procedure would I also need to do a complete re-setup of my Basic voice mail account to use my account again? First go to setting then Application manger, then to voice mail app and do a Force Stop/Clear Data on the Voicemail application, http://vz.to/1uDNTd9, then power off the phone. Then power the device back to on, and re-test. Has anyone tried this yet and if so did it work to clear the nag icon and restore your normal basic voice mail?

Didn't work on my Droid Maxx. Done it countless times. The same exact problem. Even Verizon tech support can't make it stay away.

I also gave it a try after posting...same results as you. I really don't belive Verizon has found a way yet to solve all the problems that came with 4.4.4 . It eats up the battery & and uses a little mobile data when my Wi Fi is off. I think it's safe to say there are a lot of un-happy Verizon customers.

Did anyone try looking at their online account under features options? I have been having the same issue on an S4, and when I looked at my account features options, basic visual voicemail is no longer an option. Just Basic Voicemail, and Visual Voicemail(which costs 2.99/mo). I was on a $60 Loyalty Plan, but went so far as to switch to the $60 Single Line Plan to see if it brought back the option for Basic Visual Voicemail. It did not. It seems, to me, that Verizon eliminated the feature for Android phones. Tech couldnt help, and Tier 2 promised to call back, but never did. I think they realize one of 2 things. Either their system is extremely broke concerning this issue, or Verizon intentionally eliminated the option for Basic Visual Voicemail in their system.

I went to my Verizon account features options after a couple of times trying other ways to shut it down. No luck in my account as it only listed Basic voice mail & no trace of Visual voice mail. I was told by one tech over the phone that first I must install it and only then will the app show in the S5 and my account. I have not done this yet. But I do not want nag screen & data/power draw. Verizon/Samsung needs to be working around the clock on this 4.4.4 update and all of it's problems.

It can be corrected and one of us on this forum will find a way and do what Verizon should be doing..their job.
