Any updates guys? Soo freaking annoying! Of course I'm not getting the red dot, just blank text, but, geesh, really annoying!

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything different from
t-mobile? I'm on an 2g 2.2.1 t-mobile

Call t-mobile and have them deactivate your voicemail notification until the problem is resolved. It is the only thing you can do for now

This is basically happening to everyone and to be honest, does not bother me that much.

I am sure that T-Mo will fix this soon.

I have the web2go plan for $9.99, and the new code I typed in is still working...YEAH! My red dot is gone, but I still get a phantom/ghost text when I call voicemail or if someone leaves me a voicemail....so all is good until for now. I just know that if I get one of those blank texts, then someone left me a voicemail...so that just replaced the red dot. (Even though it's a little annoying, it's not so bad. I think 100% of the frustration was not knowing what was happening and after reading all these posts, it's just reassuring to know that I'm not the only one - and I'm sure it'll get fixed in a week or so....or at least hope so.) Also I hope that my data plan continues to work - without having to pay the $24.99 that I was paying before...that's sweet!)

I have the web2go for $9.99 - and it's still working! YeAh!

Also - my red dot is gone, but I am still getting the ghost texts - but that's not soo bad....actually, it's my indication that I have a new voicemail, now that my red dot is disabled. I only get the texts when I call voicemail or when someone leaves me one.

I think 100% of my frustration was just trying to figure out what was going on...and then when I came here and found out that we were all having the same issues, then I was somewhat relieved. I just hope the new fix keeps working and that tmobile will fix whatever that software issue is and then it'll all be good.

So, hang in there guys....I'm sure it'll all be resolved soon, and if not, then the iPhone wonder gods (geeks...hehe) will come up with a solution for us! Thanks!! We ALL appreciate ya'll....(yeah I'm from Texas)

Heres a Note to all,

This problem is only on T-Mobile Towers only!!! So if you roam , ( i was storm chasing in Kanas and Oklahoma)

it appears that the USA network and Celluar One, and AT&T roaming the Voicemail Indiactar WORKS.

Apparently these towers send the phantom message in a different way. I always got a Voicemail indication and no blank texts. Of course when i got back home, On got on a T-Mobile tower, back to blank texts and no voicemail notification.

Good info to know FWIW.

BTW: The USA is noted as part of the MNC of 310, so every US GSM network could show up as being 'USA [something]' instead of an actual operator name (Alltel's case being "USA Extended Network" instead of "Alltel" as shown on my SE and Nokias). It's a bit convoluted and annoying at times.

OT but: Just wondering, if you used the phone for data, how was data coverage up in KS?

I tend to chase around OK (when/if I can), and Dobson's old network runs pretty well for EDGE data. I haven't done much chasing in KS though so I thought I'd ask.

Had the same problem getting texts for voice mails from 1969 and 2012. Called T-mobile guy said oh yeah I can fix that give me a second, came back online said problem has been fixed. Yeah evidently his fix was to turn off notification because now I am getting nothing, great job.

[smirkis]

thought i was the only one, its been happening for a while now and i thought my iphone got hacked or something haha. its only voicemail notification and i hardly care for that, just wish people would stop leaving voice mails so i can stop getting scary text msg LOL

ill get it disabled later, i never check my vmail anyway. thanks everyone

[Joules]

Anyone have any updates on this? .. i bet its very easy fix, T-Ho just dont give a fuk

[rud3bwoy]

thought i was the only one also getting this dumb non sense,i thought it was some sort of spam message from a company,guess not.

[iPhoneMadness]

I've been having the same problem, but looks like it's fixed as of 12:00 today. I've had a voice mail waiting for me a few days and all of the sudden I see the notification over the phone.

Anyone else confirm theirs is working again?

[Ryfly]

It appears to be working partially now. Seems T-Mobile is now going through there towers one by one to fix it.

It seems now i don't get a text when i revice a new voicemail and now a voicemail indiacator but when i delete, i get the same blank text and now i got the red dot indicator, oh well,

But now at home and on a different tmobile tower, i get blank texts both ways.

[Joules]

im still getting the text, and the bubble still stays even though i dont have voicemail... not fixed at all

[ucim2cute]

Yep weird, I had not been getting the red dot as most, just the annoying blank texts, but then last night, someone left me a voicemail and the red dot appeared, so I was like yaaaaay the problem has been fixed! Uhhhh! NO! I listened to the voicemail, and the red dot wont go away, and I STILL get the blank text AFTER I listen to the voicemail! And yep the red dot is STILL there! ugh!! Even MORE annoying now!

BUMMER!!

[defmute]

switch into Airplane mode and out and the red dot should go away.
