I have a Verizon Note Edge running Android 5 Lollipop. I don't subscribe to VZW's Visual Voicemail and I don't want to. On my previous Verizon phones, when I had voicemail activity, I would get a notification from the regular, nonvisual voicemail that I could tap on and it would automatically dial *86 for voicemail. On my new phone, if I get a voicemail it is the Visual Voicemail app that sends the notification, and the only thing that happens when I tap that notification is I get a series of options to sign up for the VV feature (about $3/month). It never takes me to plain basic voicemail.
Does anyone know what setting I might change on the phone to get voicemail notifications that do not involve Visual Voicemail, but just take me directly to the phone with *86 dialed automatically? I checked in Application Manager, BTW, and the Visual Voicemail app cannot be disabled (let alone uninstalled), nor can you uncheck its Notifications box.
