I have been tortured by several things in my lifetime: excruciating back pain, a younger brother, an older brother, a deep yearning for bright blue spandex leggings and Cabbage Patch Dolls, unrequited love, eye snot, bad porn, bad mac & cheese, the voices inside my head, being strapped naked to a table while a medical stafflooking like they just stepped off the set of Baywatch inserted needles into my lumbar discs and asked me to rate my pain from 1 to 10, werewolves, waxes by women named Nina from Moscow, my inability to successfully connect to the video of Anna Nicole Smith confirming her pregnancy... the list goes on and on. But nothing - NOTHING - has been as torturous as the Voicemail icon on my cell phone that WILL NOT GO AWAY.
Every time I look at my phone it's like Satan laughing maniacally in my face. "HAHAHAHA!!! YOU CHOSE TO IGNORE VOICEMAILS OVER THE WEEKEND, NOW YOU WILL FOREVER BE TORTURED BY A VOICEMAIL ICON ON YOUR CELL PHONE! MUAUAUUAUAUAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
I have tried everything. I listened to all three lengthy voicemails on my phone, which I am compelled to save should a certain current scenario devolve into something which might find them exhibits A, B, and C. I have listened and pressed 9 to save. I HAVE PRESSED 9 TO SAVE!!!
When saving the voicemails thrice effected no change, I then plugged my phone into the wall and rebooted it. I watched, hopeful and on tenterhooks, as my little phone (the third in a year of seriously shitty phones thankfully covered under warranty) searched for my network successfully. I thought to myself, "Look! Look at that! Signal bars, battery indicator, the "vibrate" icon, and MFDC!!! I did it! I DID IT!"
Yet, no. The voicemail icon popped up shortly thereafter.
My next course of action was to take my battery out, masturbate the contacts, then let it sit for a moment. Once reassembled and turned back on, the voicemail icon ONCE AGAIN popped up.
I just don't know what to do. I'm not sure how much longer I can function as a normal human being in society knowing that I have a meaningless, INCORRECT voicemail icon on my phone. It's like my Tell Tale Heart, except without all the dark, suspenseful writing and old, creaking floorboards.
Motorola - YOU OWE ME MY SANITY.

This is actually not a unique situation. My last phone liked to tease me the same way. The VM icon on the display would stay for a few hours after I heard them all - leaving me to wonder if A) I somehow was too stupid to retreive all my messages, or B) if I actually kept getting new voicemails - and if so why didn't I hear the damn phone ring!
It's almost as annoying as the the glitches with my iPOD.
I think I might just delete the admissable evidence, I mean, VOICEMAILS off my phone. It just a matter of finding ten minutes to do it. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW LONG THEY ARE.
Check to make sure you don't have any old text messages that you missed. Sometimes you may read them, but it's still in your message folder. That happens to me alot. In fact I just figured it out on my new phone, so the little letter icon finally went away.
That would annoy me to no end as well. There's sometimes a "delete icon" option in your voicemail menu, though I'm sure you have already scoured your phone for answers to this dilemma.
Only other solution for your sanity: get new phone.
