I just rebooted my iPhone, and it is working just fine. I called myself and left a voicemail, and it appeared on my phone immediately with no text.

FWIW, I tried mine again this morning also (if one is using alternative voicemail like Youmail, one can still dial T-Mobile's VM at 805-637-7243) and it continued to have the problem even with a reboot. Some people have said that it seems to happen on some towers and not others (maybe not all towers have been upgraded with the change?).
Has yours continued to work properly?

I installed the T-mobile US Carrier bundle from BigBoss in Cydia. Now I am receiving notification after a voicemail is left and after checking the red dot resets. And the best thing is no more of those stupid texts. Try it out and post results.

I doubt it is just for my phone, but the voicemail issue has been fixed for me, with no such action on my part.
Was this T-Mobile? Anyone still experiencing the VM problem?
I can confirm that mine too is working properly today without having used the alternate carrier prefs that are in Cydia (that is, I called the T-Mobile VM number I posted above and it cleared my status indicator without giving me SMSs. I think I'm actually going to keep Youmail though, so all in all, that was one good thing that came out of it. Youmail is really nice!
Plus I have an extra e-mail account (I have an AOL one I never use, so it literally gets no e-mail whatsoever). That means it can act as two gigabytes of space to keep VMs if I wish.![]()

I had to use it here in Chicago, but the phone calls my own phone number when accessing voicemail.

Yay for T-Mobile. Fixed it pretty quick and painlessly. In addition to your new find for Youmail and an email account, you have credit with T-Mobile! Double yay!I guess we can say (if everybody is experiencing the fix) that T-Mobile lived up to it's customer service. None of this... "not our phone, not our problem" crap.

I listened to my VM on iPhone 3G, didnt get any txt...
It hasn't happened with my iPhone. Maybe because I haven't restarted my phone recently....
I know a lot of people that has an iPhone with T-Mobile and it didn't happen to any of them.
I didn't restart my phone, but I was watching my phone intently when it happened... Because right before it started, I lost my network signal. And then, as soon as I got reception, I had the indicator on and a text from the future and past! lol
