Mystery voicemail

[MsSparkie]

Nexus 4
I hate voicemail
two issues
1. I have not set up voicemail but have a notification of a message that wants me to set up inbox in order to hear it. Nope
2. I AM getting voicemail messages some other way thru text messages that tell me to dial 0023, 0024, etc. I guess this is visual vm.
-- how do I stop it all? I clear that one notification and even changed my phone number but it keeps appearing.
Thanks

Unfortunately Voicemail notifications and service are handled by your carrier. You'd need to call them to cancel voicemail/visual voicemail, or maybe you can do it online if they offer that level of service customization. Sometimes when you get a new phone they renew trials of visual voicemail (if they offer it as a premium service) and that may re-activate your voicemail if you didn't have it set up before.
