iOS 8 trouble! PLEASE help!

[Daniel3102]

Hey guys! I have a problem with my iPhone 5s on iOS8. It has been running fine until today! I had to do a soft reset because I was having some signal problems (failure to send when I have FULL signal strength) and now the phone app has a red dot on it! Like I have a notification, but its just the dot. I tried a hard reset and its STILL there! I click on the app and the dot is by voice mail. I click on voice mail and it says " visual voice mail is currently unavailable" I called the voice mail, and there are NO MESSAGES!!!


Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!!!

Red dot means phone is available but voicemail is not. It does it when 3G is turned off. You won't receive voicemail notifications while the dot is there. It's basically saying "you may have voicemail but we don't know"

Perhaps it will help if you go into settings > notification center > phone > badge icon : turn off.

You can turn it back on later, but it's just to see if it would help.

Worst case scenario simply "erase all content and settings" or restore through iTunes.

Don't do anything Hal~9000 said.

As I wrote there is nothing wrong with your phone.


Here's a fix if you can't figure it out yourself:
