Why do I have no ICON for voicemail on my brand new LG phone? How do I create one?

[AC Question]

I purchased a fresh-from-the-box LG Optimus G E975. Setup went smoothly, but I have no icon on my screen to click for getting voicemail messages. All the previous android phones I've owned came with such an icon, even older models. Why am I missing one?

You would have to ask lg why they designed it that way.


As to how to add it, add a direct dial widget to the voicemail number (usually *86)
