Voicemail icon gone

My new iPhone has much less memory then my last phone. That was a mistake but I’ve bought extra cloud space so it’s just sort of an inconvenience now. I’ve had to delete apps etc. to make room . Anyway that’s really not the point my point is it I think my voicemail was full and now there are simply no voicemail icon when I pull up my phone functions. I’m not sure how to get it back or how to delete old voicemails to make room because I don’t have access to it anymore. Any ideas?

If you have carrier voicemail:


An example from my carrier:

Call voicemail box xxxx and press 11 for the main menu / option

Unheard messages are stored for 8 days. Messages you've listened to will be gone after 24 hours. Longer storage is also possible. Press 5 while listening to your message and it will be saved for 7 days.

The voicemail settings are controlled by the carrier.


Do you use Visual Voicemail messages, see this Apple article: Check your voicemail on iPhone
