IPhone 5s IOS 7.0.4 Cannot empty voice mail

I can't seem to delete voicemail. Any suggestions?

I posted some of the varied solutions I found here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5369936?start=17&tstart=0
To make it easier, this is the text I posted:
I've been reading and researching this the last several hours on various threads, and users have complaints from all carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-mobile) and even in some cases past issues with different iOS and iPhones... one thing is consistent - it is the iPhone, not the carrier. So let's move on.
To all, several suggestions are reported with varying success amongst users:
A) Delete 1 voicemail. Scroll down to bottom, select Deleted Messages, Select Clear All for the 1 voicemail. Repeat. (basically delete then delete, one at a time. This one worked for me!)
   A1) If the "Clear All" is greyed out at first, select then deselect the message, and "Clear All" should be blue and selectable.
B) Call AT&T (or whoever your carrier is) and request them to "reset your visual voicemail" or a "voicemail system reset". Reference this help thread if you need to (see note by Brucku). Solved for 2 other people. The thread is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5327914?start=30&tstart=0
C) Call your own voicemail manually (call 1 or call your own #) (circa early 90s) and delete each message manually through the voice prompts (press 7 to delete, for AT&T at least). You may need to make sure to "listen to saved messages" as some are lurking in there. Reportedly solved for quite a few, but not working for many others.
D) Something convoluted about deleting the Visual Voicemail message, then Clear All, then enter Airplane mode, restart the phone (home + power button), then turn off Airplane mode. Few said worked, but most said it didn't. (I tried several variations of this to no effect).
E) Reset "Network Settings". (note: this will reset wifi passwords, but phone is fine just don't Reset All!) Reboot phone. Delete messages as you would. Worked for some.
F) Drop iPhone in toilet. All Visual Voicemails should disappear. Works for all who are willing to part with phone.
Hope this is helpful. So far sol'n "A" is working for me, and this was affecting 2 phones in my household. Will update if it reverts and I have to do "F". Cheers!!

    When I updated my iPhone 4 it brought back all my old voice mails 3200 of them. It won,t let me delete the any ideas?

    With ios 7 there is a new feature that shows you all the music you purchased with your apple id.  You can disable this by going to settings/music/show all-off.  Also this helps with saving data usage if you do not have unlimited data.

        DJTayLo, Let's get your voicemail working! I noticed you metioned that your Cellular Data is off. Visual Voicemail does need to be connected to Cellular Data in order to retreive voicemails for the iPhone. This can cause the notifications to be delayed. When you turn Cellular Data on do the notifications  then show correctly? Which model iPhone do you have? We'll figure this out.

  • Cannot retrieve voice mail

    Hi folks, does anyone have the time and savvy to advise me?Often times, I cannot retrieve my voice mail. I can see the voice mail and the number of seconds it lasts.  But when I click on the voice mail, the number of seconds goes to zero, and no message plays.  This happens more and more often.  I googled and found a person who said go into the app file.  He described a procedure that involved deleting the .dat files.  I did that, but i am not sure i did it correctly, as it did not help.If i fail to retrieve the voice mail the first time, i never can get it to retrieve.  Windows 7 ultimate, laptop

    I have not contacted support. That is my last resort, I usually get much better help for obscure PC issues from 'regular' folks on forums. I call support for things that are clearly Verizon issues. I'm betting they will just read me the system requirements and tell me to either use Internet Explorer or contact my PC/Operating System support . I'll search around a few more days before I call.

  • IPhone with iOS 7.1.2 cannot connect with car system

    Hi,
    I am using iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1.2 . I used to connect it with my car (fiat bravo, with blue&me system) and it has worked well, but it was still on iOS 7.1.1. Now it doesn't want to connect with the car, phone sees the car, but cannot connect with it. How can I solve this?

    Hello, Brunon_Wayward. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Sometimes when an iOS update is released there is a compatibility lag with certain features that requires an update to the vehicle.  I would first check with your vehicle manufacture for any firmware updates.  However, here is an article that has some helpful troubleshooting steps regarding car stereo connections and an iOS device.

  • My iPhone 4S iOS 6.1.3 cannot save photos anymore.

    After syncing with iTunes recently, my phone no longer can take pics, videos, screenshots, etc... it clicks like it takes the pic, but then does not show up in the camera roll.  Same with a screenshot.  If I try to take a video, it just clicks on/off really fast, does not record for any length of time.  I tried resetting all the settings on the phone with no success.  Any help?

    Hello, ClayJM.
    Good job on your attempts to troubleshoot the issue already. Wanted to point out a good article I found:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
    Although it states it's for purchased apps it has specific steps to try that might still be helpful in your situation. Specifically Steps 4 and 5 have always been useful for me:
    4. Restart the application
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
    Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
    Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
    Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to quit the app.
    Press the Home button, then restart the app.
    5. Restart your device
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
    Thanks for reaching out to us on Apple Support Communities.

  • IPhone 5s IOS 8.1.1 battery drain using mail

    Problem: battery drain is unacceptably high with -1% per five minutes
    Description: after upgrading from IOS 7 to 8 the battery drain on my iPhone 5s (32GB) has hugely increased. Several tips on the internet have been tried from turning off several services to reinstalling the IOS none with no improvement. After reinstallation the drain was acceptable only to result in again a -1% drain per five minutes after a week.
    Expected: using IOS 7 I could easily use the iPhone throughout the whole day with -1% per fifteen minutes. After installing an improved IOS one would expect similar or lower battery drain
    Tests: as said, severals tips found on the internet have been tested none with any improvement. Deleting all accounts under "Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars" proved to be the only solution for this problem (a non-functional solution I must add since I'm using this iPhone for communication...). Even keeping the iCloud account but disabling all iCloud services did not improve the situation, only a real account deletion worked.
    Question: do you know how to get battery drain back to -1% per fifteen minutes whilst maintaining my iCloud and Exchange account using IOS 8.1.1 on an iPhone 5s (32GB)?
    Kind regards,
    Ronald

    Since upgrading my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.1, my battery has not been the same. I was able to get 9-10 hours of usage before and am lucky to get 6-7 hours. AppleCare thought that was on the low side and told me to visit my local Apple Store for a thorough diagnostic testing of the battery. My appointment is tomorrow. Will report back.

    It may be how the account is setup on your device.
    Have you considered removing the account and adding it back onto the phone?

  • Cannot delete voice mails

    CAN'T DELETE VOICE MAILS!!
    When I try to delete them online, I'm told the "mail box is in use" (it isn't) and to call the support#.  They tell me to try deleting them via the phone. That tells me "your records aren't available".
    This is really annoying-can anyone advise how to fix this "black hole"?

    So you can see them online, play them but not delete them?   or you can't play them either?
    And when you call into the voicemail number - are you saying you can't access your voicemail at all? 
    if you can't access over the phone, then that will be the first thing you want to fix, so use the following two links. 
    Get Voice Mail Access Number
    Reset Voice Mail Passcode

    Perhaps you can try to take out the sim card after powering down.  Wait a min or 2 and reinsert SIM then power on.  If that doesn't work, sounds like it is another of the widespread issues and bugs in 5.0, unless you haven't updated to 5.0 yet.  On a related note, but different phone, I had a similar issue and called my VM and slowly went through option 7 to delete messages just to make sure.  I also had to have a data connection, for some reason, for the icon to disappear.

  • HELP -- My iPhone only rings 2 times, then goes to voice mail!

    is there any way for me to extend the rings to 5?

    If you're using AT&T, dial 611 from your phone and ask the representative to set it for you. They could set it up to 30 seconds before going to vioce mail.
