Default Voicemail tape icon stuck and will not clear

I swapped sim cards a few days ago, and the simcard had no credit, but had a voicemail.

I have since swapped back to my original sim card and cannot get the icon to go away, I have tried leaving a voicemail on the original sim card, but it still will not dissapear. Is there a reg fix to clear this?

Thanks

p.s ive tried the usual resets.

Haven't had this happen on my Tilt, but did on my last phone on Sprint (not sim card related). I ended up having to leave myself a new voice mail, then call in and listen to it and delete it.

Also, I found on Sprint that if I deleted a message and hung up before the icon cleared, it sometimes stayed on. Doesn't happen on my Tilt on AT&T, but I mention it in case it affects someone else.

This normally means that your voicemail box is full. try deleteing all of your messages and see if it goes away. Otherwise what I ended up doing is calling my service provider (Orange) and ask them to reset my voicemail. They do this by sending a sim update.

Hopefully this will solve your problem.
