Visual voicemail not working... at all

Same here. I'm going to call ATT tomorrow and see if they can fix it.

What you can do is reset your voicemail password by dialing your number. Do it from there not from the iPhone. Once reset, you can now set up your visual voicemail on your iPhone and re-enter a new password.

the problem for me, and probably others is that it's compounded... not only does our voicemail not work out of the box, we don't even have that option in Settings > Phone to reset the password. it simply does not exist for me.

also, does anyone else not have thei call waiting feature enabled and working? mine is off by default in the phone settings screen, and i cannot enable it. i slide it to On, and i get an error msg saying "Counld not save call waiting setting", and "Dismiss" is the only option left after that. what gives???

should go on another thread, but my sms does not work either! i can only seem to get sms that are at&t service msgs... not from other phones -- nor can i send it seems, as no one gets them.'

so frustrated and upset... all this after waiting 24+ hrs for activation. ugh

You have to reset it by calling your own number and going through the prompts. You'll then get a text message on your iPhone that your password was reset.

Then you can use the iPhone to set up voice mail and password. Make sure you have a clear and strong AT&T signal when doing it.

I had the same prob. I came off of a Blackberry plan. And when I activated the iPhone the bb plan didn't get canceled and the iPhone data plan didn't activate.

Call att and ask them to look at your account and make sure your iPhone data plan is activated.

You can try resetting the voicemail and password all day long...that will not fix the problem of callers getting the ATT message saying the "call cannot be completed as dialed" when you miss or decline a call. Several people have now reported this problem on this and other website forums.

In my case, my phone works perfect (including outgoing and receiving calls) with the exception of this non working voicemail problem. I have reset my password no less then 12 times (from the iphone, from land line phone with a customer service rep at ATT, online etc.) and it does nothing. The problem has to be a voicemail routing issue. Callers are not being properly routed to our voicemails when we do not answer the call or decline the call.

One forum member with the same problem was told by ATT thats its an Apple issue. There is no possible way that is true. This is not a hardware problem as the issue has nothing to do with the phone itself....the phone can be OFF and callers all get the ATT message saying the call cannot be completed as dialed so the problem is within the ATT system.

Hopefully someone will have some luck and get this fixed and then post the result.

I was on the phone with multiple levels of AT&T support on Friday and Saturday. According to them, it is a known issue that they are working dilligently on. The higher level tech I spoke to sounded pretty frazzled. He said this was a "big" issue and was getting a lot of attention internally. He also said it was supposed to be fixed today (Sunday). But still no-go for me.
