how do i hide a voicemail notification icon?

[leftnovan]

I also mean to remove the notification icon. Oh man, I am losing my patience because I am HEARING IMPAIRED (DEAF!) and I don't know why I receive voicemail messages!

You should be able to open up the notification area and simply hit the clear button.

There are two ways to turn of the voice mail notification. The first way is to have someone assist you with turning it off by calling your voice mail via *86 on your phone, pressing option #4 for "Personal Options", and the option #1 for "Notification On/Off". 

The second way is via customer service. By having some one assist you with contacting customer service at 1-800-922-0204 or *86 from the phone, we can remove the your voice mail feature from the system so that you phone can no longer receive voice mail messages.
