Cannot set up voicemail

I recently received a new iphone 4s from Verizon.  Everything has been going well except I cannot set up voicemail.  I've clicked on phone, voicemail but that's it - no set up prompt etc.  I've reset my network settings but that doesnt work either.  I've talked to Apple and Verizon, and no one can seem to help me.  THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!!  I'd like to have voicemail on my phone!!!!  Please help.

voicemail is a carrier issue and Verizon can't fix it?
Try taking it in to the shop that you bought it at and have them take a look at it.

  • Just got a new IPhone 5c. Cannot set up voicemail.

    Just got a new IPhone 5c. Setting up voive mail it asked me for the password. I never had a passwor on the iPone 4. I cannot setup voice mail because i do not have an old password to enter. How can i get around this. Tank you. Chuck

    If you have a GSM phone, try Settings > Phone > Change Voicemail Password
    (If you do not have a GSM phone, you will not see this in Settings.)

  • Cannot set voicemail number

    I have an iPhone 3GS which I use on Telecom in New Zealand. When I hit the voicemail icon it says on the screen 'Cannot Connect to Voicemail - Call your service provider for assistance'. I have seen that I should be able to set the voicemail number by dialing 5005*VMnumber#. When I do that, I hit call and the screen flashes for a split second and that is all -- I still cannot access my voicemail.
    I am trying to understand the relationship of the SIM card to the voicemail number -- When you hit the voicemail icon is it pulling the number to dial off of the SIM card or is stored in the phone's memory somewhere? My guess is that the SIM cards for my carrier do not support the storing of the voicemail number on the SIM... any ideas?
    Steve

    I would agree, only we have another 'unofficial' carrier here in NZ called 2degrees whose voicemail just works on the iPhone with no modifications or programming - you just tap the voicemail button and off it goes.
    It seems to me that the iPhone is pulling the number from a particular place on the SIM card where my carrier does not store it. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

  • Why would the phone give me the error "Cannot Connect to Voicemail"?

    Why would the phone give me the error "Cannot Connect to Voicemail"?  How do I get into my voicemail?  Is it a network problem?  Or is it a setting issue on the phone?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Alex

    Usually it indicates that your data network is unavailable. When you receive this message, does the phone say 3G or E next to the AT&T service bars?
    I usually reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 10-15 seconds until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears. That solves the problem for me when it occurs.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT201436 Cannot remember my voicemail password

    I restored my phone to its original settings and now I cannot log into my voicemail.  I also cannot remember my voicemail password. How do I restart this set up process or retrieve my password?
    Thanks in advance.

    Contact your carrier to reset your voicemail password. Depending on the carrier, you may be able to do it from their web site, or you may have to call their customer service.
    Resetting the password will usually clear any saved messages as a security measure.

  • HT4623 How can I troubleshoot my mailbox after buying a used phone through E-bay I cannot access my Voicemail

    After buying a used phone I cannot access my voicemail messages, how can I re-set or troubleshoot, it keep asking me for my mailbox number,  can I reset the mailbox message  on my phone ?

    You need to contact your carrier to reset your voicemail. You should also wipe the phone if you haven't already: Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings.

  • How do I set up voicemail for the first time?

    I feel like i am losing my mind.  I CANNOT find simple instructions (even in the manual) on how to set up my husband's voicemail on the BB 8800.  There are all kinds of questions and answers about voicemail, but I just need to know how to set it up for the first time.  The message you get when you call the phone is "This user has not yet set up voicemail" (or something to that effect).
    PLEASE HELP!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This is simple in deed! Go to Call Log -> click Menu and  select Options -> Voice Mail. Now in the Access Number put your carriers Voice Mail Box number. Some carrier requires access password which you can also put in the.
    Let know if this helps.

  • In FrameMaker 9.0.3 and 9.0.4, I cannot set tab stops for a style in the Paragraph Designer.

    In FrameMaker 9.0.3 and 9.0.4, I cannot set tab stops for a style in the paragraph designer. Here are the steps to dysfunction:
    1. In Paragraph Designer, for Tab Stops, click Edit. Edit Tab Stop dialog box opens, and the Paragraph Designer dialog box closes.
    2. Type value in New Position box.
    3. Click Continue. The Edit Tab Stop box closes.
    4. Open Paragraph Designer. No tabs are recorded.
    Discussion of a similar problem occured on this forum in June 2010. At that time, the resolution seemed to be to upgrade to 9.0.3. Has anyone else encountered this problem with these versions?
    Thanks.

    Hi, Arnis,
    Brilliant! Thanks so much. I only looked at the later discussions of that thread, which seemed to indicate the problem would be solved by an upgrade to 9.0.3.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and 5 with 2 different numbers but same Apple ID and I can't set up voicemail on the 5

    i have 2 iPhones with 2 different numbers but same Apple ID, why can't I set up voicemail on one phone

    Visual voicemail is a carrier feature, contact your cell phone provider and see if it is set up for you to use.

  • When I click the iCloud button I get a browser with check boxes, not slider buttons and it does not have a "backup and storage" button.  So I cannot set up backup.

    When I open my iCloud browser it looks different than "normal." It shows the list with check boxes, not slider on-off buttons.  It dos not show a "storage and backup" button so I cannot set up my backup. What is wrong?

    If see something like the image below it's because you are looking at the iCloud settings on your Mac, not on an iOS device (which has sliders).  Storage & Backup isn't in the Mac settings because you cannot back up your Mac to iCloud.  Only iOS devices can back up to iCloud.  On a Mac, you can get information about your iCloud account storage by looking at the green usage bar at the bottom and by clicking the "Manage..." button on the bottom right.

  • When I try to create a calendar announcement in my iCloud calendar thru my PC / Outlook, it says 'the set of folders could not be opened. The information store could not be opened'. Can anyone help?  This means I cannot set any calendar events thru my PC.

    When I try to create an iCloud calendar announcement / event on my PC thru Outlook, I get the message 'the set of folders could not be opened.  The information store could not be opened'.

    If you upgraded to Windows 8 you may need to update the iCloud control panel for Windows to version 2.1 (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4463).

  • Cannot set Windows 7 default printer in Boot Camp

    I discovered today that I cannot set a default printer in Windows 7.  I right click, and try to make one of the printers default but there is no check mark.  One of the programs that I use says I do not have a printer installed. 
    I can print to my printers using Word by selecting the printer that I want but cannot select a default in control panel.
    If I access Windows programs using a VM Fusion, the program that says there is no printer installed in boot camp, does not give be this message and I can select a printer.  BTW, I have never been able to select a "default printer" using VM Fusion.
    The only thing unusual is I had to reactivate Windows for no apparent reason last week and I cannot select all of the Themes available in the personalize menu. 
    It is difficult to pinpoint when the printer issue started because I mainly access my Windows programs through VM Fusion.  I am guessing the changes happened when I had to reactivate Windows
    I am away from my iMac currently and was wondering if anyone has experienced this and/or have a suggestion.?
    Thanks,
    Roy

    Update.
    Apparently this is a Windows Registry issue.  Looks as if there is a VM Fusion driver set as default (thinprint??)  I cannot delete or modify this registry key.  A new profile solves this issue and I will have to copy everything over to the new profile, if I cannot get this registry key issue solved.  I will post on a Microsoft board to see if there is a solution.

  • HT2458 Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you

    Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you

    You received incorrect information from AT&T.  You can indeed access your voicemail without your iPhone.
    Call AT&T at (800) 331-0500 (assuming you're in the U.S.).  This is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week number.  Ask them how to access your voicemail.  Normally, you would just do this by dialing your number from another phone, typing "*" once your voicemail recording starts, and entering your password.  You don't know your password, so it's probably the last four digits of your phone number or perhaps the seven - or ten-digit phone number.  Let the AT&T person tell you.

  • Cannot set status of Urgent Change after manual transport

    Hi all,
    We are usng CHARM in Solution Manager 7.1 for import to the SAP ECC (EHP6) systems.
    I cannot set the status of the Urgent Change document (ZMHF) to status "To be Tested" after the transports were manually released and manually imported to the ECC QA system.
    When I use action "Pass Urgent Change to Test", the system stopped with error "Not all task are yet released" and will not change the status .
    Based, on the Task List log, the system started the release process although no transports were released.
    Is there any way that I can update the status of the Urgent Change document to "To be Tested"?
    I tried program CRM_SOCM_SERVICE_REPORT but still did not change the status.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Tess

    Hi Venu,
    have a look under System Administration - System Configuration -- Knowledge Management -- Configuration --Content Management -- User Interface -- Commands -- UI Command Groups -- StatemanagementGroup.
    See Java class: com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.cm.UIStatemanagementGroupCommand. Take the class and decompile this and everything needed around to understand how this class works.
    Then you can choose to extend this CommandGroup to also have a command "Resubmit for Approval" or you can implement your own UI Command only for resubmitting (you will also have to activate your command (group) by settings within the configuration).
    On the other hand, if all this is completely new to you, I'm a bit sceptical if the task isn't a bit too big as a first task on KM implementation topics...?
    Hope it helps

  • [Solved?] VLC won't play audio -- cannot set buffer duration

    I can't play sound in VLC. I have tried the default and the ALSA outputs. I know ALSA works, because mpg123, speaker-test, and rdesktop's sound all work. (Saying that, I can't tell if mpg123 uses alsa or not - rdesktop does though)
    Attempting to play something in VLC gives me some rather cryptic errors. What follows is the output of "vlc -v" and an attempt to play a video with sound. I have split the "code"-tag just before the actual error output for clarity and ease of scanning.

    I have reproduced this with the same result using 'sudo vlc-wrapper' and I am added to the 'audio' group.
    I have no idea where to start with this issue, I've tried googling but it seems that only one person has ever had this issue before (if Google is to be considered a reputable source), and he was running his own VLC build. I am running the build "pacman -S vlc" gave me. If anyone could point me in the right direction on this issue I'd be grateful.
    Edit: This is my /etc/asound.conf. I have no idea what any of this means, at this point it's fill-in-the-blanks wiki copypasta (Edit2: The purpose of this file is to try to stop alsa from sending all my sound through a disconnected HDMI instead of the speakers)

    Situation update:
    1. I didn't need my asound.conf like that -- I should have used pulseaudio in the first place, I was unaware that ALSA does not allow more than one program to use the sound device at the same time, whereas pulseaudio is used to mix sounds.
    2. VLC works fine on PulseAudio. No idea why it failed on ALSA!
