A number or two, no matter what I try to do, will go right to voice mail. I have even deleted the whole contact from my address book and it still wont come up. I can call from that line and it will go right to voice mail, test another number and see it ring, then go back to the original and it goes straight to voice mail.
What could cause this? Is there another blacklist setting I dont know about?

My HTC Incredible is display a voice mail but when I access it, it stated no message available. So how do I remove this from my notification? I cannot seem to get rid of it, it is getting anoying. TIA.
I had the same thing when I first install gvoice on my android.
That is actually a new voice mail on your Verizon voice mail service.
I think I cleared it by pulling down the notification bar and using the "clear" button in the upper right hand corner.
If you feel you need to listen to it, you may have to go to your settings menu, then call menu to re-enable your VZ voice mail... I've never done this and I believe it could take hours before it actually takes affect.. And then you will need to return your voice mail to GV when you're done.
I believe it will take hours because when I installed GV my GV VM took about a day to be default.
I don't see the clear option when I drag it. I will try to change my PocoMail to VZW and back to see if this Wii work. Thx.
I finally figure it out, as Luvit stated, the notification is for VZW voice but since I choose gvoice as default, it always call gvoice. No wonder I have no message. I have to call my VZW vm and delete it everything is fine now. Thx.
So you want Google Voice on your Evo but you don't want your texts to come through Google Voice. Well here is what you need to do to get this to work.
1,) Download Google Voice from the Android Market
2.) Open Google Voice and go ahead and set everything up the way you want. Sprint integration will be automatic there is no stopping this. Let it ride through but it will delete all your Sprint Voicemails so make sure you have nothing important.
3.) So now all your texts are coming through Google Voice and you are sitting there frantic. Well here is what you do to allow just voicemails to be handled.
4.) Go into you google voice account on your computer. You can get to the website through Google by searching Google Voice. You login is the same as your Gmail
5.) Go up in to the top right corner and click on the thing that looks like a gear and go to Voice Settings.
6.) You will see a page with your google voice number and your mobile number and then you have two options.
7.) You will see a link down by the edit and delete buttons and it should say activate Google voicemail on your phone. Click this and it should bring a screen up saying call a number which should be *28+your google voice number. You want to go into you call pad and call this number. This enables call forwarding to the voicemail if you hang up or don't answer a call. If successful you will hear two beeps and then it will hang up. You will now recieve your voicemails through Google Voice .
8.) Now to get rid of that pesky texting.
9)You will see a link next to the Sprint logo that says Disable Google Voice on your Sprint phone.
10.) You need to click this link but sometimes Google won't let you do it for around 15 min. Just be patient and check it again in about 15 min and click it.
11.) It will now say Enable Google Voice on your sprint phone. You should be good now and you will only receive voicemail's through Google Voice and your texts will resume through you MMS app.
12.) If you are rooted you can go ahead and delete the Sprint VVM app now.
There is my tutorial. I know there has been a good amount of debate on this topic and people getting pissed at google which I was too. They should have the option right below you number:
Receive Texts
Receive Voicemails
but of course they don't. Anyways enjoy stock texting and Google Voice voicemail.
Great post with clear directions!! I'll give it a try
How do you revert back if there are problems??

You simply go down to deactivate Google voicemail on this phone and it will give you a number *38 to call. Once you call that it will beep twice and you can go back to using SprintVVM.
Well my old sim card broke and I went to T-Mobile to get a new one, and ever since I've had a voicemail notification. I've listened to all of my voicemails. I can get it to go away for a little bit if I clear the phone data, but after a little bit it comes back.
Any idea's?
Call yourself from another phone and leave a voicemail then delete that message and icon should go away
Call your phone from another phone, leave voicemail. Then listen to and delete voicemail, listen to all menu options and hang up. This has cleared all of my vm notification issues in the past.
Hmmmmm... nothing seems to be working
my buddys phone was doing this. i deleted his visual voice mail. then he dailed 123 and called it and he was able to get into his voice mail delete the message and after a few seconds the icon went away.
after that you can re download tmobile visual voice mail if you'd like. try it out
A while back I decided to try AT&T's Visual Voicemail (VV) instead of the built-in app. I'd like to remove it now and revert to the original app but I'm not sure exactly how.
My issues with VV which if I could rectify would make it so I would keep it....
When I get a call that goes to voicemail, the green "phone" app on the home screen will show that i had received a call, but it does not clue me in to that I have a message waiting for me in a different app (Visual Voicemail). So, unless I check VV every time I've missed a call, I have nothing showing me on the main screen that the message is sitting there waiting. At least with the built-in app that came on the phone, I'd see that there was a message waiting and I could have the phone call the voicemail number so I could retrieve the message..
So, either how do I make VV hook up better to the phone app so that it warns me, or if that can't be done, how do I disable VV and make calls go back to the original voicemail app that came with the phone? I'm not sure if simply deleting VV will make everything revert, or if I might need to contact AT$T or possibly have to do something else.....
BTT
Use Titanium Backup to freeze it, that's what I did and also if you have a Google Voice number you can fwd your voicemails to GV and integrate that into the call log and listen to your VM straight from the call log without the need for att voicemail app. You can search on XDA for the tutorial or if you wait I can look up the thread and place it here when I get home.

Thank you for your response! I ended up calling AT&T and having them disconnect it, from their end. They then had me dial "1" and set up my "old" voicemail. Now, at least when I get a voicemail I get some sort of notification, instead of having to open AT&T VV every time I pick up the phone to see if I might have missed a call and gotten a voice message.
If you could link to the tutorial, I'd appreciate it!!!
Curious though...when I go into the settings of the voicemail, the top line shows "Service" (followed by Setup, Notification Sound, & Vibrate). Clicking on "Service" I have a choice of "My carrier" & "Google Voice". I have it set to "My carrier".
I did install GV a while back but never used it. When I click on GV I do have a phone number listed, along with a "welcome" message form GV.. What to do with it, I don't know, so any tutorial or guidance would be quite helpful and appreciated!!!
There may be a multitude of great things that GV can do, but all I'm currently looking for is a way that when I miss a call and the caller leaves a message, that I get notified, and don't have to actively go searching on the phone just to see if I might have gotten a message. My notifications bar at the top is so overcrowded that a voicemail-waiting icon will typically not be on-screen. So, if GV will put a notification on either the lock screen or on the bottom of the home screen near the "phone" icon, I'd be a happy man!!
You could have just deleted the apk from system/app folder

OK guys here's a strange one to figure out. Have the wife's number in my contacts and all of a sudden all her calls were going to voice mail. Text messages were coming in OK. Was driving me crazy. I checked the Block list and nothing there. I restarted the phone and same. Was about to reset phone so I decided to try to delete her contact on phone and recreate.
Found out that when you go into a specific contact, hit edit and then click on three dots on upper right you'll see option to delete and Behold, the bottom option on that screen shows a check box to allow All calls from that number to go straight to voice mail.
Anyone have an idea how this option was checked? The wife's suspicious
Thanks
