Visual Voicemail Not Working

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have just changed tariff/phone plan and now my voicemail isn’t working and I just have a red spot over the phone icon. I know for sure I have 2 voicemails but it’s not telling me they’re there. I’ve restarted my phone, dialled 1750 and turned my VM on but still nothing!

Please help
Thanks in advance

Call customer service and check you still have idata on your account.
What tariff did you change to?

Hi @Anonymous Similar issue on this thread. https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Apple/Anybody-else-seeing-vvm-issues-iOS-11/td-p/1074236/highlight/true

The fix for most was to turn WiFi off, reboot the phone and VVM started working again.

Another fix is sending a message saying "STATE" to 9011, this will reset the mailbox without losing any messages

A few other fixes here @Anonymous One is to turn Airplane mode on...wait for 30 seconds and turn back off again

If none of the above work you may need to give Apple a call. They will have someone who can help. https://support.apple.com/en-gb

Thank you! I spoke to customer services yesterday who confirmed they’d omitted to add the ‘iPhone bolt on’ to my new tariff. Bolt on added, soft network reset and voila job’s a good un!

Thank you

Thanks for the tip re texting STATE to 9011. That worked for me when I lost my VVM after adding an Apple Watch bolt on to my account and/or updated to iOS 13.1 the same day.

I had the same issue, They had not transferred the iBolt or iData over as I had bought the phone from Apple and merely changed my account service.

 

They added it back in and- I had to go to settings/general reset/reset network settings.

 

The phone switches off and reopens and now all my visual voicemails are back and useable.
