IPhone 5- unable to change time to pick up of voice mail

I strongly urge Verizon and Apple to come up with a method that enables people with the Verizon iPhone5 to change the default time for voicemail to pick up. Thirty seconds is way too long for someone like me who uses my phone for business.
I have spent a great deal of time on the phone with helpful Verizon customer service reps, who were unable to find a fix.
I have read that many other people are frustrated with this issue.
Please resolve this issue for this otherwise great product!
Thank you!

Vzw does not control the voice mail system for iPhones, apple does . Voice your complaint to them

  • Calendar iphone deleting events and changing times

    My iPhone calendar is synced with my google calendar.  I haven't had a problem adding or changing events in either until recently.  Lately events in my calendar have disappeared or changed their times.  (Ex: I know I added an event to my calendar via my phone a week ago for yesterday.  Yesterday I was left in a panic because it had deleted itself from my calendar.  Today my child's parent conference time was changed in my calendar to an hour earlier than I set it for.)
    Any suggestions to fix the issue?

    I had already checked the time zone and it is correct.  The time zone wouldn't delete appointments from the calendar anyway, would it?

  • Unable to change Time Machine settings

    Time Machine has been behaving strangely for me. For starters, when I attempt to access it through system preferences, it fails to load. The top bar simply becomes "Loading Time Machine..." and remains that way. It does not hang, but simply does not seem to proress.
    However, I can load up Time Machine if I run it from the .app in applications. When I do so however, the settings are locked. When I attempt to click on the lock in the bottom right hand corner to unlock the settings however, nothing happens. No Authentication pop up, no request for password or anything.
    I have never used time machine before this, and discovered this only when attempting to set up time machine for the first time.
    If you have any suggestions on how to solve this problem, your help would be very much appreciated.

    You do not ever need to install 3rd party software to use a hard drive in OS X. I strongly suggest you remove anything you installed from Western Digital. There have been issues in the past with OS X upgrades where the WD software caused OS X to completely erase a hard drive, and it's likely that anything from WD you installed is old and not compatible with Yosemite.

  • My iPhone 5 changing times

    My iPhone 5 display randomly changes time. Never by a complete hour. Sometimes by 27 minutes oy 43 minutes. Just completely random. Anyone having the same issues?

    Common problem for iPhone5's on the Verizon network.  Both Apple and Verizon are aware of it.  CNET has already published an article about the issue.  Until they fix it, try turning your LTE off and leave it off.  Since making that change, neither of my two 5's have had any issues.

  • Changing To New AT&T Data Plan, Breaks Voice Mail

    Sorry, but I'm posting this in several iPhone Hardware Discussions, since I think it applies to all versions of iPhones.
    I'm also sorry if this has been posted before, but I'm not looking for help or answers, I'm providing them.
    I have been on the $30 per month unlimited data plan with AT&T. Today I decided to change to one of the lower cost, lower monthly data rate plans. I called up AT&T and they made the change.
    What I didn't realize is that making this change broke my voice mail. Well, more specifically, it broke the voice mail on all 5 phones in our Family Plan.
    By breaking voice mail I mean that people can no longer leave you voice mail messages. If they call you, they will get the standard message that this person does not have a voice mail box and you cannot leave them a message.
    Unfortunately, you don't realize it's broke. Since no one can leave you a voice mail, you don't get any voice mail notifications. AT&T doesn't send you a message stating that they just broke your voice mail. Your voice mail is broke and you don't know it.
    It was my wife who figured it out. She had several missed call notifications, but no voice mail notifications, which seemed odd. When she clicked on the voice mail icon, she was prompted to Set Up Your Voice Mail. There was no list of her existing voice mail messages. Just a button to click to start the set up process. Which she did. She was asked to enter her PIN and record an outgoing message, even though she had done this the first time she set up her voice mail. She entered both her PIN and outgoing prompt. But when she clicked Save she got an error message stating that she could not set up voice mail. Her voice mail needed to be set up, but it wouldn't let her. There was no suggestion in the prompt telling her what to do or why it was suddenly broken.
    So, I called AT&T. The person I spoke said I needed to power down the phone, which I did. After powering the phone back up, voice mail was still broke. I was then transferred to AT&T tech support. That person told me power down the phone. Which I did, but with some skepticism. After powering the phone back up I was told to go back into voice mail, which was still asking me to set up my voice mail. I followed the prompts and entered my PIN and recorded my greeting. This time it worked. Not only did I get voice working again, but I could see all the old voice mails I had. Unfortunately, I cannot get any voice mail messages during the several hours it was broken because none could be recorded.
    Technical support person did fix the problem. However, I had to contact all family members and we had to go through this same procedure (power off, wait, power on, re-enter a new PIN and greeting) for each and every phone. This took somewhere close to an hour of my time.
    The AT&T technical support person explained to me that since I changed my data plan (from unlimited to 200 MB) new "configuration" data needed to be sent to the phone. To get this data to your phone, you have to turn the phone off so they can send the data. Then you have to renter all your voice mail data.
    Incredible.
    So, as I said, I'm not looking for help or answers. But I thought posting what I went through might be helpful to anyone else who might change their data plan.
    Changing data plans = Broken voice mail .... Which requires a long phone call to technical support and reentering your voice mail data.
    Sheesh.

    I've been a cell phone user since the early days of analog cellular. Back in the days of brick phones, of which I was a user.
    I've been a customer of of Cellular One, Ameritech, Verizon, T Mobile, Cingular and AT&T.
    I've never experienced loosing my voice mail as I did today.
    I considered my voice mail broken since I could not access my visual voice mail on my phone, I could not reset my voice mail on my phone (following the prompts on my phone) and no one could leave me a voice mail message if they called me. I called AT&T customer support and they could not get my voice mail working. I'm not sure what more could be broken, but I would classify my voice mail as broken.
    You may find it acceptable to have your voice mail broken (or perhaps cut off) if you change your data plan, but I don't think that's acceptable.
    I don't see how I made a major change to my account. I didn't make any changes to the types of data I can send or receive. The only change I made was to opt for a lower cost plan that delivers all the same data. That change resulted in all 5 members of my family plan to loose their voice mail.
    You may be correct that all this needed was for it to be reset. But, I can't reset it. The customer service person could not reset it. It took the tech support person to be able to reset it. All of which was about an hour on the phone.
    I don't think this experience should be typical. Maybe it isn't. Maybe for some strange reason, in my circumstance something more went wrong. But, that's not what AT&T told me. They told me what I experienced is typical.
    So, I thought I would post this for people that might experience this issue, or think about changing their data plan so that they would know what to do.
    But, perhaps I was wrong in using this Discussion site to post what I thought might be helpful.
    I'm sorry. I will (as I told a previous poster) delete this post. As soon I as I figure out how.

  • Forward voice mail on a iPhone 4s to another phone number

    How do you:
    1) Forward voice mail on a iPhone 4s to another phone number?
    AND/OR
    2) Copy voice mail file from iPhone 4s to iTunes so it can be attached to an email to send to another person?

    Ann,
    As it appears that you work for Verizon, can you have then add the capability for iPhone 4s on the Verison Wireless network to:
    1) Forward voice mail on a iPhone 4s to another phone number? AND/OR 2) Copy voice mail file from iPhone 4s to iTunes so it can be attached to an email to send to another person?
    You can do this with Blackberry devices so please add the same capability to iPhone 4s.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • I changed my Apple ID for an iphone 4s and need to change the iCloud Apple ID/password.  I am unable to change the Apple ID under the iCloud account information without the password which no longer exists.  How can I update my phone?

    I had to change the Apple ID used for my iphone 4s.  How do I change the Apple ID for the iCloud information? - the old Apple ID/password no longer exists and this information is requested to make a change.  I am unable to change the Apple ID for the iCloud account.

    Apple IDs never go away, so it still exists.
    But lets be clear. You actually stopped using an Apple ID and created a NEW Apple ID. You didn't just change the email address of your Apple ID? That means that all of the music and apps purchased with the old Apple ID will have to be purchased again.
    If you really did create a new Apple ID you will need the password associated with the old one to disable Activation Lock. There is no way around this. As I said, the old one still exists. You can use the standard tools to recover the password at https://appleid.apple.com.

  • I bought an iphone for my daughter and was unaware that we should have a seperate appleid for each.Now we share an id and get eachothers contacts and face time calls. I recently bought another iphone and want to change ids without loosing items and music.

    I bought an iphone for my daughter and was unaware that we should have a seperate appleid for each.Now we share an id and get eachothers contacts and face time calls. I recently bought another iphone and want to change ids without loosing items and music. How do I do this? The new phone is a 5.

    All purchases are always going to be associated to the ID that was used to purchase/download them.
    If you create an ID for your daughter you will want to check everywhere it is used to make sure you are not sharing messages and stuff. These would be iTunes/app store, iCloud, iMessages, and FaceTime.
    Go thru settings and find all mention of your ID.

  • Events created in icloud calendar change times on iPhone.

    When I add a new event in my iCloud calendar it changes times once synced to my iphone. So if I schedule something at 9am it shows up as 10am on my iphone.

    Do you need Time Zone Support enabled with Calendar events on your iPhone? Do you regularly travel between different time zones?
    When on, Time Zone Support always shows event dates and times in the time zone selected for calendars.
    When off, events will display according to the time zone of your current location.
