Voicemail Notifications - NOT without Verizon Data...

Someone tweeted about this and I have verified. Unlike the ATT version, you have to have DATA turned on or you will not get VOICEMAIL notifications. ATT sends this a special text message(I think) but VZ apparently sends it down the data path. So I am not exactly sure how you would know you have voicemail without data. Being that this Verizon and the coverage they offer, I am guessing that I will be without Data and have a cell signal but I guess it is possible.
Just an observation that I thought I would share with the group.

voicemails come down as data on both phones... voicemail comes to the phone as a sound file which requires a data connection

Voicemail notifications not working for iphone 4s

voicemail notifications not working for iphone 4s

I had the same problem and after a lot of research here and on Verizon I finally discovered that it was an app named Onavo Extend that was preventing my voicemail from working. Other people have had success resetting their phone or network settings, disabling and reenabling SIRI, or deleting the Neilsen app (which I didn't have) but those options didn't work for me. A lot of mods have claimed that this is not an Apple problem but if it is caused by an app that Apple allows to be sold in their app store, then it is an Apple problem, not a carrier problem. Of course, sometimes its just an ID 10 T problem.

Voicemail notifications not displayed

Voicemail notifications are not displayed on my Phone App on Apple 5s unless cellular data is enable displaying it on visual voicemail.
I would like to be notified of voicemail even when cellular data is disabled as it was before.
How do I set this up?

tomefleming, I don't want you to miss any of your voice mails. While you are connected to your wi-fi do you still have your cellular data turned on? You can always check when you are on wi-fi go into your Settings, tap on Cellular, and make sure the switches are green for Cellular Data and Enable LTE. You will only get notifications for voice mail while on the cellular data network. You should still be getting missed call notifications and you will be able to dial into your Voice mail with *86 while cellular data is disabled.

New Voicemail Notification Not Disappearing

So I've been having this problem for about a month now. The New Voicemail notification is not going away after I check my voicemail, even if I don't have any voicemails. I figured the notification would go away after I updated to Android 2.2, but it's still there. I'm using the basic Verizon Wireless Voicemail, if that helps. Anyone know how to get rid of this. A friend told me I would have to restore the phone to factory settings, but I'm trying to avoid that.

Bumping this. Anyone else ever have this problem?

Sprint iPhone 4 - voicemail notification not working

I can't seem to figure out how to set my iPhone 4 on the Sprint network to show a notification indication when I have a voicemail? I know someone on Verizon that gets their voicemessages listed in some sort of list - I don't get nothing - no notice whatsoever! Please advise or I don't have to wait in line at the Sprint store.

Oh, OK, so your big issue is with Notification Center. Personally, I have mail off in Notification Center, but my iPhone buzzes anyway when locked, which happens to be enough info for me.
But I see your original post says you have set up Notification Center properly to give you visual as well as audio clues you have email waiting, but it's not working.
I wonder if resetting your iPhone would help. Try holding the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

Droid Charge has no data roaming, bogus voicemail notification

Recently traveled and was unable to use any data services while 3 hrs from home in places where I know they have 3G or 4G, like Raleigh, Greensboro, Charlotte. My husband has a Droid Incredible and his phone had 3G the entire time. My new phone had 1x or nothing. Called Vz support and they had me switch to the CMDA instead of LTE auto switching. Made minimal difference. After I switched it, the phone randomly picked up a 3G signal, but hubby's phone kept his 3G Vz signal the whole time. Also, whenever my phone is rebooted, my voicemail notification comes up saying I have a voicemail message, dated Dec. 2004! But there is no message. Happens every time my phone turns back on. Very weird. Anyway, it really is annoying to have this nice phone and not be able to use Internet or get email when I am away from home.

Tammy, welcome to the club, not a great club to be in. I and many many like you (just google up the various forums) have the same situation as you except my wife has the Verizon Iphone and I've got the Charge. More times than I'd care to mention, I have no data and she has a solid 3G signal. She's getting fed up with my ongoing line "Honey, can I see your phone for a minute". Don't bother with master resets, battery pulls, going in and out of airplane mode, switching from LTE to CDMA, they all are short term (seconds, minutes?) solutions to a far more serious issue with either the hardware, the software, the towers of a combination of all of these. Unfortunately the latest OTA software update did little to nothing for this particular issue. It did solve the mobile hotspot issue, but for me it did nothing on the more important issue of data connectivity.
I don't expect this will be fixed until the 2nd gen 4G phones come out. This is an issue with ALL Verizon's 4G phones...bar none. I've seen it in my numerous trips to Verizon stores and playing with the LG, TBolt and Charge. In fact when I went to a Verizon store yesterday, it seemed the TBolt was faring worse. I'm sure Verizon knows they've got a serious issue here and I think there's only so much they can do given the hardware they're dealing with. The fact that the OTA software update was supposed to address this issue shows that Verizon knows the issue exists. In our area (Long Island), I can't imagine any Verizon store employee with a Charge or other 4G phone that hasn't experienced this themselves.
Such is the price for being on the cutting edge.

IPhone 4s Voice mail notification not working after switching from Verizon to PagePlus.

iPhone 4s Voice mail notification not working after switching from Verizon to PagePlus. How can I get the notifications working?

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

IOS 8x - no voicemail without cellular data turned on - BOOOOO!

Since updating my iPhone 5s to iOS 8x, I don't see a VM indicator or receive voicemail unless I have cellular data turned on. Under iOS 7x, I got an indicator and could retrieve VM the old-fashioned way. I really don't care to leave cellular data turned on, and can take or leave Visual Voicemail.
This needs to be fixed, either on the VZW side, the Apple side, or BOTH. It's ridiculous to expect a customer to leave cellular data turned on just to receive voicemail. Any 5+-year-old "feature phone" will give you basic VM - smart phones should be able to do the same!

I know voicemails are very important to get on time, BlueDressDevil. By design, Apple's visual voice mail is a part of every iPhone. You still have the option to check your voicemail by dialing *86 if you'd prefer. But if your mobile data is off and Apple's visual voice mail can't connect to the network it will not be able to provide the notification.

Suspend not cancel autorenewal verizon data plan on ipad3?

Suspend not cancel autorenewal verizon data plan on ipad3?

I bought 2 Verizon 4g lte certified sim cards from ebay. When I put the new sim card in, I was able to set up a new account. Just make sure that the description says it can be used in Verizon 4g lte iPad. I haven't as yet suspended it but I will definitely pick the one that says cancel later. As I understand it, this option allows you to suspend it for 5 months without your sim card being deactivated. I doubt that I will wait 5 months, just in case that number is wrong.
It is a very aggravating experience and Verizon and Apple have both done a poor job in explaining what happens if you pick the cancel now option. It isn't as bad with AT&T because it is much easier to get a sim card from them.

HT201436 Accessing Visual Voicemail and receiving notifications of new voicemails is not working now that I upgraded to iOS 7, using carrier T-Mobile, am I alone?

I can only listen to old voicemails in Visual Voicemail since before the iOS upgrade. I am curious whose issue this is to resolve, T-Mobile made it sound like it is Apple's problem and Apple seems to think that it is T-Mobiles. Does anyone know who is working on this issue? Not having Visual voicemail *****, but not knowing you have new messages is just not cool when you depend on them for work! I need this fixed ASAP or I need to find a different carrier. Anyone else having this issue with a different carrier?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Phone data usage not matching verizon usage

Since having my droid turbo, my data usage in my setting has not been matching my usage on my verizon account and another line on my account is having the same issue, right now my phone says that i have used 0.56GB and verizon says i have used 1.03 which is a pretty big difference, the other line on my account that is having the same issue says he has used 0.69 verizon says he has used 2.421 which is a huge difference, i checked the wifi usage for both phones and it seems that the top the data app under wifi usage seem to be making up the difference between the usage in settings and the usage on verizon. I have also seen people online talking about this similar issue which seems to be caused by the phone using mobile data while connected to wifi. I have been with verizon for over 2 yrs and this is the first phone i have noticed this issue with. I have also attached screen shots from my phone to prove this issue. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.

If you want to see the report from VZW on your current data usage then you must sign into the VZW website and access your account. Only the VZW website will allow you to see any kind of information on your data usage. The Jetpack itself does not have any data usage metrics installed on it.
I assume that you already know that the data usage report from VZW is only a summary of your actual usage in terms of various sessions. The most information that will be disclosed to you are these sessions, their timestamps and how much data was consumed during that session. If you want the actual statistics for what was consumed then you must setup and maintain your own data usage monitor.

Hi, I have a new laptop and would like to syncronise my iphone with iTunes (which I have installed again). But my old laptop has died so I could not transfer any media files, etc. Can I simply connect my iPhone to the laptop without any data being lost?

Verizon data not disconnecting

I have a IPAD air with Verizon data. Yesterday I had the data turned on for about 10 minutes until my battery ran down so I turned it off and charged it overnight. This morning when I checked my data usage it showed 118 minutes which was impossible. What could cause this? It happened 3 times now.

Data usage is not reported in minutes, it is reported in kilobytes.
