I’ve been experiencing this same issue since 3.4, now on 4.1.0, and still no fix. The number for the voicemail carrier is in the Phone settings, and notifications do come in, as is described in the report here. I’ve gone through multiple device resets, I have removed and repasted the number into settings to no avail. Do we have anyone able to assist? Seems to be a GUI issue, the notification does not work, and attempting to call the Voicemail number with the 1 key in Dialer results in a “No voicemail number is defibed” toast message.
I finally understand which element is setting up the notification and the default action. After a bit of investigation, it seems that the voicemail number is not always available at the moment the notification is created because the underlying ofono waiting object is not fully initialised. Adding a listener on the voicemail number allow to update the notification with the right number.
