Deleting That Voicemail.

I must look like someone who knows about technology, or maybe it is because I am 24 and look young but the other day I was at a cell phone shop and someone came up to me asking for help with their cell phone. Now you may be thinking, ”you could have just looked like one of the employees”, but here is the kicker I was in my pest control work uniform. Anyways, I took this as a compliment and proceeded to help him out.
His question was about a Cricket Motorola VE240, he had his voicemail as a contact in his phonebook and he wanted to know how to delete it. I searched through that phone and did everything I knew possible to delete that bugger, but I could not find out how to get rid of that thing! Well I was determined to help this man out so I told him to check back here and I would find an answer for him. Unfortunately, I don’t think my answer will be the right one.
The only solution I could find for the problem is, there is no solution, you can’t delete the voicemail contact from the phone book. I searched over many blogs , and wiki answers but no one had an answer, I could not even find anyone who has had this same question. My next step was to proceed to the motorola website, but they had no information on how to get rid of it. My explanation is, that when they designed the phone the way they built the voicemail function for the phone is to run from the phone book; if you were to delete it from your contacts you would no longer be able to access voicemail. This may seem like a pain, but phone companies have their reasons for designing things their certain way, and sometimes it makes no sense.
