A method for eliminating voicemail notifications on a wireless device for
a voicemail message that a user has previously been notified of,
comprising the steps of: storing information on the wireless device about
the voicemail message; comparing incoming information of a new voicemail
notification received by the wireless device against the information
stored in the storing step; and notifying the user of the voicemail
message only if the incoming information differs from the information
stored in the storing step.
