Hi, The voicemail indicator will not go :(off unless I reset my phone voicemail reset option and then unplugg the power and recycle my OBi100 .
Does anyone know a better way of turning off the VM indicator light after you have listened to your new message ? ::) :) :)
Hi ja_ys,
Make sure you have emptied your Google Voice Inbox and have no unread missed calls that could be triggering the indicator.
Then, press ***6 on the telephone that is connected to your OBi. This will check for firmware updates; if there are any available, follow the instructions (press 1) to download and install the latest update.
Hope it helps,

GV Voicemail Notification & Missed Calls
When you enable Google Voice voicemail notification on your OBi, you should be sure to not check the "Place missed calls in the inbox" box. Otherwise, whenever there is a missed call, the phone attached to the OBi will signal (visual and stutter dial tone) an unheard voicemail. The Missed Calls setting can be found in the Google Voice Settings: Calls tab. 8)

Why does my phone continue to indicate I have a new Google Voice voicemail when I do not?

YO! This post rocks. I realize your "solution" is simply pointing out what is already contained in the FAQ's- but when I googled a solution for my problem of "Google Voice not resetting vm indicator"- it was YOUR post that google search returned- and YOUR post which answered my specific . . . and in less time than it took to send you KUDO'S for this post! Thanks!!
If you made the mistake of checking the box about placing misses calls in the inbox and you want to reverse that action, how do you do it? I've unchecked the box and I've reset my phone and I've reset Obi but I still can't seem to get rid of the VM light or stutter tone. HELP!
My indicator flashes when I have a text message whihout any7 new voicemails.
Make sure you have emptied your Google Voice Inbox and have no unread missed calls or voice mails that could be triggering the indicator.
Mine is doing the same ( flashing ) but I am going to chalk it up to a Google problem / change. I has been working flawlessly for months and I will probably just correct itself sometime. It has happened before.
Remember if you get a text it will flash the indicator,, at least on mine.
Update to the new firmware.
Note... I have a wireless phone system with two handsets. One day I noticed a message waiting light blinking on one handset but not the other. There were no messages from GV, nor no indication. So I thought, maybe my wife recently checked voice mail and the phone hadn't yet cleared itself.
Two days later, still blinking. To fix it, I pulled the battery out of the phone, and power cycled that hand set. Put the battery back in, and it stopped blinking and now has been working normally.
Point is, your phone could have an issue as well if the light is stuck on.
