voicemail icon doesn't display when i have new voicemail on the sprint network, why? i have roaming completely turned off. the only way i get notified is if i turn the phone on and off. i find this very unacceptable. does anyone else have this problem?

I've had this problem on and off with sprint the last couple years... not that bad though...usually voicemails where delayed up to 4hrs...and text pages about 2hrs...call sprint and tell tell them whats going on....In chicago a few years ago,,that had that problem with all the phones for like a year

do you think it has to do with them fooling around with the new 3g network? i have problems with the text message icon not goign away for a long time but its only text messages, voice mail is way more important.

This only happens once in a while here in Los Angeles. Usually the delay will only be a couple of hours.
