This is obviously a known, ongoing, and widespread issue.  Why not share how to fix it publicly, Verizon?

ACop, often we will ask customers to meet us privately when we may need to access a customer account to correct any issues. I do understand that this may seem like we are hiding something however, the intent is to resolve that customers concern. -Loren

TRY THIS. 

Go to Settings-Apps-Voicemail, scroll down to Battery. Turn on  UNRESTRICTED. E-Mail, Text and Phone are all unrestricted. The other settings, Optimized, Restricted, etc. are for battery useage.  IMHO, I think the VM app button "goes to sleep" after a bit and probably is supposed to "wake up" when a VM comes in but it isn't. 

I made all the suggested changes and nothing worked for more than a day. I made this one change and by the time I closed the Settings App and went to my home page I had notifications of VMs and when I clicked on the app button they immediately popped up.
