Visual Voicemail

Hi! I just got a replacement phone(lost all my contacts) and my visual voicemail icon not working. I have Straight Talk as my carrier. What do I do to get it back?
It's very frustrated. It showed how many missed calls I got but nothing on the voicemail icon. Please advice.

Contact your carrier

  • Mobile Me CONTACTS not coming down to iOS4 and lost visual voicemail

    I updated my 3GS to iOS4 and everything seems to be working, howver my contacts haen't repopulated the phone form Mobile Me. they are all still there on Mobile Me, but when I go to contacts on the iPhone, there are none and unlike previously, opening contacts on the phone does not force a sync (no spinning clock-wheel)...
    I have tried turning off the Mobile Me setting on the iphone and then restarting it, but still no contacts...
    I also lost my visual voicemail.... when I go to voicemail, it wants me to physically dial up voicemail...
    Any ideas here?

    Try turning off push and instead fetch every 15 minutes. There seems to be a bug that prevents data from getting through on push. Hope they remedy this soon!
    Huh? A "bug" would affect all devices using the OS. I have no idea what you are talking about as push worked just fine here after allowing a little time for my phone to be re-provisioned by the network. That took longer than normal due, I'm sure, to the large number of folks trying to do the same thing I was. And we've all hear AT&T whine that we evil iPhone users are breaking their network.

  • IPhone 4 - 4.2 upgrade killed visual voicemail

    *iPhone 4 - 4.2 upgrade killed visual voicemail*
    Ok, I upgraded to 4.2 and deleted all previous backups, so I know I'm screwed untill the next update.
    I've synced, backed up, restored from backup and still no "Visual Voicemail".
    My voicemail only works if I restore the phone to original settings. But if I do that, I loose important data in my apps. As soon as I "Restore From Backup" I loose my "Visual Voicemail".
    If I reset my voicemail password with AT&T, I get the screen to set up a new password and greeting in Visual Voicemail. When I go through these steps I get the spinning wheel "Saving".
    It never saves, and I get an alert that says it can't connect to voicemail.
    I can set up voicemail by dialing "1", but then all I see is a blank screen in my "Visual Voicemail".
    I've also tried a full reset of my voicemail with AT&T.
    I even got a new SIM card. That didn't work.
    Can anybody figure this one out???
    -Thanks

    Well, thats the first time I've been told that after a week of phone calls. Maybe it's possible.
    I forgot to backup my phone before I upgraded to 4.2. Oops!
    When I noticed my Visual Voicemail was gone I tried to backup but ran out of memory.
    So I deleted previous backups to make more room. It backed up fine after that.
    I don't think it ran out of memory during the update, but maybe it did.
    Crap!

  • My iPhone 5s has no visual voicemail or regular voicemail and data usage is off the charts....

    Okay so problem number 1 with my new iPhone 5s is data usage has spiked tremendously. I don't know why this is as for the last 2 years I have had an iPhone 4 and barely ever used 1GB a month. Now with my 2GB allowance I reached 90% used midway through the month. I have turned off the LTE and now have turned off cellular data completely and am only using wifi. I don't understand why my data usage has been so high this month since I am using my phone the same way. Is it the LTE?
    My second problem is my phone has no voicemail. It tells me visual voicemail is unavailable and to call my voicemail. Except when I call my voicemail it asks me for a password. I have had my phone number for over 5 years and never had a password and now I can't get into my voicemail. I tried resetting the Network settings, that did not work. I have left my self voicemails and no notification even shows up. I called *86 to create a voicemail and it asks for a password which I never made.
    I am EXTREMELY angry with Verizon's service at this point. I can not use my data until next month, and now I can't even receive voicemail messages. If someone could please tell me what is going on I would be appreciative.

    To answer your first question, the answer is yes, it is the LTE. Your iPhone 4 could only connect to 3G and so therefore unable to transfer data as quickly as 4G on the 5s. So then you end up using more data than you have before.
    And your second question. I am not sure as to why it's asking for a password if it never was before. You can reset your voicemail password if you log into your MyVerizon account. Hope that helps

  • Visual Voicemail Issue

    I have been having a problem for at least almost 2 months with setting a new visual voicemail greeting. Everytime I go to the greeting part it says retrieving and it has been stuck in that part for a month. The latest update I got didn't do anything. I have T-Mobile as a carrier and they told me this was an issue on your guy's? Some info or help would be gladly appreciated. Thanks 

    Use one of the methods in this kbase article to reset your visual voicemail:

  • IPhone 4: No 3G, edge or visual voicemail

    Hi,
    My iPhone 4 has no 3G, edge or visual voicemail. I can only get on the internet using my wifi.
    I've tried:
    resetting network settings
    latest ios updates
    creating a backup, then deleting file '8218978e4ab0a48035bb92653145a6be872ea858' from the backup folder and restoring (as suggested in a macrumors forum)
    The internet tethering is constantly searching and never stops which I believe may be decreasing battery life.
    This is my second iPhone 4, my previous one had the same problem and was subsequently replaced by O2.
    I can only presume it could be my sim, but is that likely?
    I've read other people have had these issues, but not all simultaneously.
    Am I alone here, is there a fix????
    Thanks for any help in advance

    Went to Apple Store for help with this problem. They tested with one of their SIM cards and there was no problem with the network. Therefore, I was told this is a problem for AT&T to resolve having to do with activation. Called AT&T. Turns out that when my phone was activated, they cut off my data plan entirely instead of continuing it. After some discussion with AT&T support, they gave me back my data plan. I re-booted the phone, and everything is fine. I am happy. Everything is working on my new phone. Hope I love it now.

  • Visual Voicemail gone after upgrade to 2.0 (and porting number)

    Anyone else experience this? I upgraded to 2.0 and at the same time I ported the old iPhone to another cell phone number on my account with ATT. The upgrade to 2.0 and porting appeared to go OK as everything else is working EXCEPT when on the phone application, I can not get the visual voicemail button to do anything. I press it and it acts like it is taking some time to open but it never brings up the visual voicemail screen. The phone part works as usual in all other ways.

    I upgraded to the pre-release version of 2.0 and it worked fine. Then this morning i tried to update to the official 2.0 and it could not connect to iTunes, and that pinwheel kept spinning. So I pressed home button and power button until it (iPhone) rebooted. Then i connected it to iTunes and it asked me to restore.... So i pressed the option key (in mac, idk what it is in windows) and selected the prerelease version to downgrade to and now its fine. So...... good luck all

  • Visual Voicemail problem with iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1

    My service carrier told me that Apple had eliminated the visual voicemail, which is included in my monthly plan, and I would like to confirm that? Im running an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1

    Did you also tried restore as new? Maybe your backup is corrupted.

  • IPhone 4: Visual Voicemail asks to be 'set up now' after each reboot

    Hello everyone,
    Here is my recurring problem:
    Every time I turn my iPhone 4 off and back on, the visual voicemail asks to be set up again (when I've done it over 10 times now!). I tried resetting the network settings, taking out the SIM, and even called my phone company. They said that the issue is from Apple and has nothing to do with cell phone reception or what not... They said they have gotten a lot of calls with this issue?
    I am not sure if anyone else is having this problem...?
    How do I fix this so I don't need to reset my voicemail everytime I reboot?!?!
    Thank you in advance.

    The fix:
    Okay, I spoke with Apple Customer Support, and this is the detailed fix for the constant visual voicemail re-set after rebooting the iPhone (4). A warning though, it's going to use up a lot of your time!
    1. Make sure that you've synched your iPhone, and have a computer back up (which includes all of your contacts, apps, email, photos, etc. - EVERYTHING.
    2. Reset your iPhone 4 back to the factory default (this erases EVERYTHING from your iPhone). This is the "Restore" option found on the "Summary" tab in iTunes when your iPhone 4 is selected.
    3. After step 2 is complete, when you are given the option to restore the iPhone either from a back-up, or start as a new iPhone, choose the new iPhone option (it's possible that your back-up has a "corruption" which lead to this problem).
    4. Re-synch, and re-add all of your apps, movies, books, and photos, etc. You will have to redo any folders that you may have made (pain!).
    5. You may have to update the phone's carrier settings (remember when you first got the phone?), by pressing a prompt on the phone if it tells you that a carrier update is available (download the update). The phone will also prompt you with the fact that it's now registered (with your carrier). This only takes a second (the shortest part of the whole process). Your visual voice mail should work. Your greeting may be set to "default", but if you choose "custom", your greeting should be there (push "play" to make sure). If not, then record a new one. My greeting was still there, and I didn't have to re-enter my password. All of my old messages were still there, too. Success!
    6. You'll have to re-enter your wi-fi password in order to re-enable wi-fi.
    7. You're done. It works. I've tested it, by restarting (re-booting) the iPhone 4 several times.
    8. Go to bed, because it's late!
    You're welcome!
    -Mark.

  • IPHONE 4 VISUAL VOICEMAIL

    I have no problem with Verizon, but I really dislike the fact that they charge for visual voicemail. Is there anyway in knowing if VISUAL VOICEMAIL will be free for iPhone 4 users...I know its just 3 dollars but still every other carrier doesn't charge for this. 

    Although iPhone plan pricing has not been released, there is no reason to believe that it wouldn't be available for an additional charge.

  • Visual Voicemail not working on iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.2

    Before I get into the specifics, I want to say YES, I already called AT&T about this. Their Tier 2 support guy couldn't resolve it so it's been elevated to a support ticket and I'm waiting for a reply. I'd just like to know if there's anything I can try on my end, or if there's any telltale sign of a defective unit.
    The phone: iPhone 4, 8GB, AT&T. 2 years old, off-contract. Unlocked. iOS 7.0.2
    We just got back from a European trip and the visual voicemail on my wife's iPhone 4 is not working. Before we left, I unlocked it via iTunes and updated to iOS 7. I didn't want to upate the OS but iTunes was not giving me a choice, despite trying the various options to keep it on iOS 6 (believe me, I tried). Anyway, in Sweden I bought prepay SIM cards for our phones and used those on the whole trip, swapping the ATT sims back in once we got home. We both had issues with our voicemail after that, with repeated prompts for our password and having to go to AT&T to reset it and all that bizness. My 4S is working fine now, her 4 is not.
    She knew she had at least 3 voicemails while we were gone but they were not showing up. Last night I checked for a carrier update, then set the iPhone to update to 7.0.2 while we slept; woke up to find the update had FAILED and the iPhone seemed bricked. After updating iTunes and repairing permissions, finally got the phone back up and updated, with a long restore from backup with apps and music. Still no new voicemails. I 'Reset Network Settings' to no avail, after working through all the steps in the Apple Knowledgebase article. So I called AT&T. The first tech did several things (on/off. more Network Settings resets) and the old voicemails did show up -- but no NEW ones would pop up when she made test calls. The tier 2 guy did some resets on their end, still no joy on showing new voicemails. As a last-ditch effort, he reset the entire voicemail account for that phone. Now visual voicemail is completely GONE. Pressing the button just calls voicemail and prompts you for the password. New voicemails are in the system, but there's no prompt on the phone that you even have one, you have to call.
    SO... anyone else have this issue? The AT&T guy seemed to be at the end of his rope and had nothing left to try on his end. He thought it was a hardware issue, though everything was working fine before I a) upgraded to 7 and b) swapped SIM cards. Is there ANYTHING ELSE I can try on my end to see if its an issue with the iPhone versus an AT&T problem?
    TIA,
    JVK

    Generally, when going out of the country and using a foreign SIM, carrier files can be changed. Go to Settings>General>About>and look at Carrier? What does it say? You may have to perform a restore. You can try a restore from a backup, that would reinstall the iOS, and would provide the latest AT&T carrier file as well. See if this will fix the problem.

  • IPhone 4 upgrade to iOS 4.2 breaks visual voicemail

    I just updated my iPhne 4 to iOS 4.2 and my visual voicemail no longer works. When I go to voicemail it just dials in like on a regular cell phone.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    Anyone figure out how to fix it?

    I tried Restart and Reset - did not fix the problem.
    Next, I let it dial my voicemail and entered a wrong password (because I forgot it), then the correct one. That got me into the AT&T voicemail.
    Then, I tried the Visual Voicemail button. I got a message that my password was wrong and got a login window. I entered the correct password and all seems OK now. Visual Voicemail works like it used to.
    (However, I did lose all but the most recent saved voicemails. No big loss in my case, but I can see how that might upset some.)
    Whew!!!
    I was a little worried.
    Regards,
    -Peter

  • Iphone 3gs Upgrade to 4.2.1 deletes visual voicemail

    I unfortunately have just upgraded my iphone 3GS to 4.2.1 and found that my visual voice mail is no longer a feature. When I go to the phone menu screen, the favorites, recents, contacts and keypad still work. When I touch the voicemail icon, it immediately calls my voicemail each time. It does not go to the visual voicemail screen, but instead shows the keypad and is calling my voicemail number. It won't even let me see my saved visual voicemails. This is a pretty big weekend to be out of touch. Is anyone else having this problem? Thank you for any feedback.

    I upgraded my 3G to 4.2.1 last night and tried to set individual alert tones for SMS. Well, as everyone here probably knows, that was false advertising by Apple.
    I saw the thread here, though, about visual voicemail and checked mine. Sure enough, no go. When I clicked the bottom-right icon for voicemail, it just dialed. I didn't need a PIN, though, it hooked me straight up. I hung up and called voicemail a couple of more times, switched to the contact list and back to voicemail and eventually I got the on-screen prompt for the PIN. I filled that in (and it was maybe a bit lucky I remembered it) and all was well again ... with the voicemail. Saved messages were present.

  • BUG: Verizon iPhone Visual Voicemail Not Working with Ported Number

    I ported my number from ATT to Verizon with the new iPhone 5.
    Visual Voicemail keeps asking me to set it up with a password. Then it says unauthorized. I spent an hour on the phone with Verizon support. They said I had to wipe my phone and set it up as a new phone.
    I backed up, set up as new, went to Voicemail. It called my voicemail. I set up the account, and left a test voicemail. Visual Voicemail worked.
    Then I restored back to my iPhone backup, getting all my data, apps, and contacts back, and the Visual Voicemail doesn't think it is setup anymore.
    What gives??? Is this an Apple or Verizon issue? It works on a "new" setup phone, not a restored one???

    I found that this was an issue (when I setup my iPhone 5) was solved when I went in and reset the network settings.
    It seems that somehow the provider network settings weren't quite right:
    Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings
    After resetting the network settings, everything just worked again.
    Perhaps the same thing can correct the issue for you as well. (worth a shot)

  • Version 6.0 Bundle 2426 does not work with Sprint Visual VoiceMail

    I updated to the latest Sprint Bundle a few days ago and after the update Visual VoiceMail has become quite problematic to keep working. I regularly have to reboot my BB to play messages. The only temporary solution is to call my VM system, but the Visual VM system stinks compared to the old Sprint VoiceMail system, as messages are not kept longer than a week, and a third of the features are gone. I have looked and even called both Sprint and BB tech support and both are clueless. Sprint sent me updates to my phone via the network, asked me to remove the battery, ran the update profile and update PRL options in the mobile options screen, etc.. My next step is to take it into the Sprint repair center and have them downgrade the OS or do whatever they need to do. The previous Sprint build worked just fine with Visual VoiceMail so not sure what the problem is. Is anyone else experiencing this bug and how did you fix it? I am more limited as I am on a Mac. I wish I would have kept the latest build, as I unfortunately deleted it to save space (last time I will ever do that).
    John

    Okay. For everyone who upgraded, download RIM's Version 6.0 build 1609 to your desktop computer. Open it and install it to your PC Go into Blackberry Desktop and it will recognize there is a new OS on your PC for your handset. Back up ALL of your contacts, messages, or pictures you have before doing this. Now, install the OLD bundle 1609 back onto the handset. This could take up to 10 minutes. After that, go to your 'Manage Connections" screen, hit "Mobile Network", then hit your BB button and select "Update Profile" then "Update PRL". This will re-provision your handset with the network. Call your VM system through the VVM app on the handset and it will re-connect it. The issue with taking it to a sprint store or doing a "Data Wipe" is that it DOESN'T remove the new build, it only wipes everything, but KEEPS the new build. You have to MANUALLY un-install it and downgrade to get the old command sub-structure back for VVM. Hope this helps, done it 22 times with other phones already.

  • IPhone visual voicemail not working

    I never figured out this problem until today:
    •My visual voicemail appears to be functioning, nothing denotes otherwise.
    •I was wondering why no one left me voicemail after they called, so I decided why not check it manually.
    •I help down 1, and lo and behold I had at least 30 messages over the past month.
    •Occasionally a message comes thru to my visual vm, but apparently not all.
    So basically how do I get this working? It doesn't even alert me when I have a voicemail.
    I'm on At&T, running 3.0.1 (could old firmware be the problem?, I have reasons for keeping it at 3.0.1, and no it's not jailbroken.)

    First update your firmware.
    You can call AT&T to make sure your account is set up properly for visual voicemail.
    You can try basics from the manual (among which are restart, reset, restore):
