Hello PLB214,


It looks like you're trying to set up Visual Voicemail. 'With Visual Voicemail, you can see a list of your messages and choose which ones to listen to or delete.'


'If you can't set up Visual Voicemail, contact your carrier to make sure that your plan supports the feature.'

We hope that helps.

I have done this repeatedly and currently in the process of wiping the phone. HELP!

Go back to your phone carrier and speak to someone higher up and not a sales rep. Voicemail is a phone carrier feature, the fact that you have call voicemail means your line isn't provisioned to use visual voicemail.


There is nothing for Apple to do here.
