Q: Visual voicemail over WiFi
Hello,
I have an iPhone 5 and stay up to date with the iOS updates. I hear this issue from other iPhone users as well, including iPhone 6. I keep my cellular data off and only turn it on if necessary to reduce cost. I primarily use Wi-Fi connection. Because cellular data is off I don’t realize that I have voicemail. I had an important voicemail from a week ago that I finally discovered when I turned on cellular data service. This was an important message and I didn’t even get a notice showing I had a new message.
Why can’t voice messages be received over WiFi, I mean it is a data connection regardless if it is cellular or WiFi data? Even if I at least received a notice showing I have a new message and it didn’t download over WiFi, I would be ok with that. It’s just frustrating that a notice of any kind wasn’t received.
I have searched many forums where people are asking this same thing. The answer that is always given is that cellular data needs to be on. In a way, this sort of makes using WiFi pointless. Apple, I love your products, but can you please fix this on your iOS, to allow for visual voicemail over WiFi, at least the notification?
