Maybe you still need to turn on/activate your voicemail?

The voicemail settings are controlled by the carrier, so check via Google or contact your carrier  which abbreviated number -> xxxx you can call from the iPhone.

When you call xxxx, listen to the menu/options.


An example how it works with my carrier:

Call xxxx and press 11 for the main menu. Choose 2 for the personal settings of your voicemail. 

If you have a subscription: call xxxx1 (free) to turn on your voicemail. You can turn off your voicemail by calling xxxx0 (free).

If you have prepaid, calling the voicemail will cost the standard calling rate.
