    How do you delete a voicemail? I can’t seem to block it and I’m not going to listen to it. It keeps popping up every time I turn on my phone. I’d love to delete it or even better, to block it.

    1. Hi Sally,

      After playing back the message in question, press 7 to delete it. That will put an end to the recurrent notifications. Keep in mind that a deleted voicemail cannot be recovered.
