Verizon Voicemail not working on 5X.



Anyone else having issues with their Verizon Voicemail on the 5X? Whenever I get a voicemail, instead of the regular notification that I have a new voicemail, I'm getting a text message with a bunch of gibberish, like this:

Code:


//VZWVVM:SYNC:ev=NM;id=4;c=1;t=v;s=xxxxxx;dt=27/10/2015 09:30 -0500;l=7;dev_t=5

Of course I just got off the phone with Verizon level 2 technical support and they told me that its my phone and it isn't compatible with the way their voicemails are handled in their system, which is just their way of passing blame to someone else.

Anyway, I'm still able to receive and check my voicemails, I just don't get the proper notifications anymore, just a text message with gibberish. I've tried the default google messenger and also Textra, and both do the same thing (thinking maybe it was my SMS app).

I also don't have visual voicemail, and told the verizon rep i just want basic voicemail, and they told me their free voicemail is some sort of basic visual voicemail now, which I think is part of the problem.

Any suggestions, or can anyone verify their voicemail notification icon is working correctly??
