Can't set up voice mail - after spending an hour and a half restoring my iPhone 6 Plus trying to solve one problem, now it won't let me set up Voice Mail. The phone says I have to set up a password and a greeting message, but it won't work.

I followed the screen prompt to enter a passcode -- even though I don't want ANY passcodes on my phone -- but I entered one, entered it a second time and waited for it to process only to get a "Voicemail Error Try Again Later" message every time -- this after losing communication with Apple Support during the restore process, trying to solve a different problem with the phone. Apple sent me an email saying they left me voicemail messages during the restore process, but I don't see them and can't hear them.

Voicemail is a carrier function. Sounds like they may not have your account provisioned correctly for voicemail. Contact them about resetting your voicemail.
