Have a nice day.". And what's better, the service provider makes it seem like it was sent by the other person (will appear under their name), so calling/texting them is just a step away.

That is the reason why I don't use voicemail and also why I hate when the person I'm calling does have it.
If I am unavailable, why should the other party pay for it? It is my problem, so I call back once I'm back online.

I'm not saying people shouldn't use it (I wish they wouldn't, though), but I don't see the use in my case.
You missed completely the problem here.

My phone provider sends those messages (just checked with another SIM card from them in my Android phone).

My Jolla phone doesn't display them !!!!!
This SIM card was previously in my N8 which displayed them correctly (both missed calls and voicemails when you come back in the network).

So then 2 problems can arise:
* someone called and didn't leave a message. I will never know it, but if it was important they would have left a message.
* someone called and left a message. That was surely important ! Jolla doesn't display it, so here comes this patch that at least says "you should check your voicemail, there is something here, but I don't know from who".
