Voicemail

The notification for new voicemail is a badge on the Phone icon.

In addition, go to Settings/Notifications, scroll down to Phone, and turn on Notifications and other settings as you desire.

And note that you must have cellular data on to receive voicemail on the phone, so go to Settings/Cellular and make sure it is ON, then scroll down to Phone and make sure it is ON also.

We appreciate you giving it a try, cwipfli,

If you're still not seeing notifications for voicemail, we'd recommend that you enable Airplane Mode then disable Airplane Mode to reset your network connection. You can enable Airplane Mode via the Control Center or in Settings > Airplane Mode.

Also, if you haven't restarted your iPhone recently, we'd also recommend that you go ahead and do so: Restart your iPhone

If you're still experiencing the same behavior you can also Reset Network Settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.

Best regards.

If you have notifications for Voicemail enabled and you have a cellular data connection, and you still aren’t receiving notifications, it’s possibly your carrier isn’t sending them. Give them a call.

Thanks for letting us know, cwipfli,

We hope this helps.

Take care!

Tap the Phone icon, then Voicemail. Do you see your messages? Can you play them?

We understand that you're not receiving your voicemail messages. Are you not seeing the notifications that you have voicemail or are the messages not delivered at all?
