a while back i disabled voicemail throught sprint support. after every soft reset i get an annoying vm icon in my taskbar & a message saying 17 voicemails. normally i can clear it manually untill next reset but now this thing keeps coming back a few seconds after i clear it. any suggestions on how to permanently get rid of this ? phone.settings.voicemail.clear only works till next reset, or till the issue im having now. thanks to any1 who has the ability to steer me in the right direction
