How to stop visual voicemail from appearing

When I tap phone icon visual voicemail screen appears asking for password I can either click cancel or type password to get it to go away. HOW CAN I KEEP IT FROM APPEARING IN THE FIRST PLACE or is this part of the system

That's not normal behavior. When I tap my Phone Icon, it takes me to history... I don't have a password on my voicemail, so I don't know if that is what is causing the glitch. Have you listened to all the Voicemails? Maybe they have to be marked as "heard" or it wants to show you you have "new" messages?
