Setting up iPhone 4s voice mail??

Hello all
I got my first iPhone and I assumed the voicemail would transfer over like in the past but it doesn't, and my callers are getting this funmky message about entering a ,mailbox number etc. Some of my friends thought I cut off my service. How do I set it up with a new message? All Verizon says is to tap the phone ap and tap the voicemail tab, but then it asks me to enter my mailbox number. I don't even know what that is. I entered my phone number and was told it is incorrect! Help!

Congrats on your 1st iPhone, Johnnyharps! I can help you setup of your voicemail. The instructions you received are correct and should allow you to setup your voicemail box.
1. Select "Phone"
2. Select "Voicemail"
3. If your voicemail was never setup it should say "Setup".
4. Select "Setup"
5. You enter the voicemail password of your choice. (If your voicemail has not been previously setup)
Let me know if you need additional assistance. Have a great weekend.

Well, what happens when you try to use it. That would help in the troubleshooting. Have you contacted your cellular carrier? Voicemail is a carrier function.

Contact your carrier - voicemail, and visual voicemail, is a carrier feature.

I purchased the phone in a retail store a few days ago. Am trying to avoid making an appointment and going back. The purchase took 3 hours.

Have you got Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases set 'off' - that should stop all in-app purchases. And what have you got 'Require Password' set to on the Restrictions screen (I can't remember what version of iOS that setting came in with, so you may not have it) ?

IPhone 4s - Voice mail Button - Settings required

Hi Apple and all
I have an iPhone 4s in London UK. it is unlocked so I didnt want to go with expensive contracts like O2. So I am using a cheap contract from company called TalkMobile.
Talkmobile provide better signal and cheaper line of sim only contracts. This has worked well for me as I am now paying £8 a month for my 300 min contract and 500MB data in comparison to £21 O2 contracts.
Talkmobile dont have Visual Mail service but have voice mail service that they charge for it. So I switch it off. (dialed 1210) that mean no one calles my voice mail. I suspriped to an app voice mail service called HulloMail. and that works great for me because I use it to personalise my voice mail and allot more security on it.
My question is.
How can I change the voice mail button to point to Hullomail app instead.
or
How can I disable the voice mail button all together.
or
How do I switch off the voice mail button with a password or something.
Reason why I want it changed is because even though I disabled people calling to my voice mail via the network provider. The iPhone will still call my voice mail if I press the voicmail button and I will be charged £0.10p for everytime I press it, to be honest at the moment its nusence to me, because MY FAT Finngers press it everytime I press the call app and accidantely (with my FAT Fingers) press it.
Surely this was a bad design by apple in the first place where by users cant disable, change, restrict or modifiy the voice mail button. If this cant be done then need to be fixed by Apple.

My iPhone 4 won't take incoming calls. Everytime someone phones me it goes straight to voice mail. What's gone wrong?

For some reason my iPhone 4 won't take incoming calls and everytime someone phones me it goes straight to voicemail what's gone wrong??

Look at the AT&T VVM User Guide for help setting up your visual voice mail.
If you still have problems, contact AT&T Customer Service at 1-800-331-0500 and ask them to check that your account is provisioned for an iPhone 4.

Voice mail and online number

I have set up voice mail for my account; then bought an online number. When I called my online number from my iPhone, it did not answer with voice mail. Do I have to set up a NEW voice mail for my new online number?

Have you tried this.
First check that your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.
Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Go into your account from your computer not your mobile and check on accounts. On the top there is a voice mail icon. Click on the icon and it will tell you if your voicemail is enabled. if not you can enable it then.

One point voice mail not sending notification to cell phone

I have been through the prompts to set up one point voice mail and even have entered the phone number to send notification to but never receive and such service. Voice mail does work and the prompt is in place asking for notification number and time to do so but again no such service.

Call your phone number from your phone and when they prompt to change password you can select set up password. You will be able to set your password and review them on your phone.

Calls not going to Voice Mail

Hi,
We've had skype for ages. We use it for our business and have skype numbers and multiple skype users.
For some reason, the past three days, any incoming calls on our user sales.munz1 is not going to voice mail. It just rings, and rings and rings.
Since the other users don't use voice mail, this is the only user with the issue.
What's up Skype? We haven't changed anything.
At this moment, we've unticked go to Voice Mail, otherwise we can not hear the phone ring and ring and ring and pick up customer calls.
Any solutions?

It really can only be on the carrier side as it is their servers that have number of rings etc set before dumping to voice mail. Voice mail again is on their servers, your phone doesn't record voice mail, they do. Their servers then tell your phone you have voice mail and send a *copy* to visual voice mail.
I would call them again. If never dumps to voice mail, it is their servers not stopping the call and dumping it to voice mail.

Is there free voice mail service? if so how do i get it to work? all i see when i click the voice mail icon is the accept/decline for visual voice mail and that says theres a charge?

Is there free voice mail service? if so how do I set it up? When I click on the voice mail icon all I see is the accept/decline agreement for Visual Voice Mail and it said something about charges will be applied on my bill so I declined.

Your Basic voice mail is a free required program for you if you do not want Basic Visual Voice mail (free) or Premium which is a paid service. Basic Voice Mail set up is free and easy to do.
1. Sign in to your My Verizon online account.
2. On left side of page in Blue letters find the drop down menu. Click to open menu then go to change features and locate Basic Voice mail and click the Red add button.
3. When you're done making this change click next at the bottom of the screen and then ok.
4. Now go into your device and set up your Basic voice mail program. You may continue to receive an error message for a period of time “Visual voice mail update”, just clear and disregard.

No calls in call log, or voice mail online (but can be accessed via phone).

I had Fios internet and digital voice installed on February 14th 2012. I've set up all the voice mail functions and can access them via the phone. Voicemails left an laso be played back via the phone. However none of this information is being replicated online via the website. Voicemails are always empty, and the call logs show no record of any calls being made.
Is there anything else thatneeds to be set up?
Thank you.

No there is nothing else you need to do to setup the service. We need to check that your username is syncing to the account correctly. I have sent you a private message to get more information.
