The way the voicemail notification works at your device is a SIP NOTIFY packet is sent to your device saying either that you have voicemail, or that you don't have voicemail. This packet is only sent once per toggle, so if you're experiencing any packet loss, this is usually the first symptom.

Do I correctly understand then that if a packet gets dropped at the wrong time voicemail notification fails and that there is really no permanent fix?

BTW, I've had on and off missing notifications and failures to turn off notifications since day one.

And what 'da bleep' is a "toggle".

Just noticing the same issue. I'm hesitant to call tech support.

You can configure your voicemail to email you when you receive a message. It can even attach the voicemail to your email so you can listen to it when you check it. The voicemail indicator was never reliable anyways. On mine it would tell me I have messages when I don't and visa versa.

The problem is the alert is not reliable. Sometimes you don't get an e-mail alert for a voicemail so you don't realize you have a voicemail until you get a second voicemail. This feature should be more robust.
