Sorry to bother you all, but I have a quick question(s).

I unlocked my iPhone with a SIM unlock last Friday, but anytime I loose a signal or turn my phone off, when I again pick up the T-Mobile signal on my phone, I get a new voicemail notification. My vooicemail box is completely empty, no messages. I have to call voicemail and let the phone know that there is no messages, then the notification goes away.

Does anyone know how to fix that? Would it be better to stick with this SIM unlock or download the software unlock and run that? I'm just curious as to what you all would do. Thanks!
 
So, I thought it was the piggyback SIM unlock that was causing this problem of me getting a voicemail notification whenever I loose a signal, but that's not the case I guess. I don't think it's because I'm using T-Mobile because I know of two other people who are using T-Mobile in my area with iPhones, and theirs aren't screwed up like this.

I upgraded to 2.0 last night with the Pwnage 2.0, and after it was all finished the phone restarted and...tada...new voicemail. I call it, and it's is EMPTY! Not even a saved message. I wonder if it's the phone itself that is screwy, or if it's my T-Mobile SIM that is causing the problem. The SIM is over 4 years old itself. Oh, and yes, I removed the SIM unlock card from the phone before upgrading. It's still sitting on my desk too, and not back in the phone.

Has anyone seen this before, and if so, do you have any suggestions?
 
I had this on my iPhone on Orange in the UK. In the end I went to my answerphone's options menu and changed the notification. This seems to have worked.

How would I go about doing this?
