johnr: Telcos have not removed the ICON notification,

Sorry I was under the understanding they had - from 2Degrees staff member in fact in Wellington when I questioned it.

So only going by information I was told.

But - any answer to my question about HOW you turn off the Missed Message SMS's?

SteveON: Its a text. Thats it. What happens when it rains? Do you complain or live with it? I cant believe there is a conversation on this matter. /troll.

johnr: 2Degrees could of removed it but I am not sure as I don't work for them

Thanks - not really asking about the lost ICON however :)

The thing is - today is a perfect example - I had five meetings. In those meetings I didn't answer my phone and placed it on silences.

When I got back to my phone and was really able to check messages, I had 18 missed messages. Only two of them were from people in my contact list, and none of them left messages. My phone already tells me this, so instead I had to go through and delete 18 SMS which really had no benefit to me.

I know it sounds small - but honestly 5-6 SMS per day when the phone does it anyway.

So on this thread, You and someone else stated to turn the functionality off. 2Degress person stated to turn off in messaging (however, I am pretty sure I have already done that once and it didn't help fix the issue).

So - I am asking how since no one has offered up how to turn it off, but have suggested to turn it off (which is what I would love to do).

Considering my OP was fairly labeled as a rant, maybe you and the other pinheads above of a similar nature can save everyone some time and stop disrupting threads you're apparently not interested in with inane negativity. And get some friends so you occasionally have some missed calls too.
