We have a seasoned employee that has been using ring central desktop app for a long time.  Her Polycom vvx 410 phones red light stays on even after she has deleted all the messages, faxes, and etc .  We tried a couple of things like restarting the phone.  This will work until someone calls, then it stays on until we reboot the phone.   We also did a update that was inside the app but that didn’t fix the issue.  Please help.

sounds like she has unread voicemail messages. 
You said you deleted all the voicemail messages. 
Have you double checked the Admin portal > Users. There is a Msg. column that indicates how many voicemails a given extension has. What do you see in the Msg. column for her extension? 

You can ask RC to disable the WMI (Waiting Message indicator - also known as MWI), so that the light stops flashing even if you do get a voicemail.

And if all else fails, there isn’t anything that a bit of duct tape can’t fix. Make sure it’s black electrical tape in this case.

Follow the instructions below, it may seem like a lot, but it only takes a few seconds and will resolve the issue.

In the admin portal select the user>notifications>Messaging Notifications>change the pull down from “Basic Settings” >Advanced Settings>select Customize Notifications for voice mail>check the box for Mark message as read once emailed>done>saved.


I had the same issue and I called RC.  They had to do a factory reset on my Yealink phone.  It took some time but got it resolved in one call.
