Backing Up Voicemail

I have been getting popups that say my voicemail is almost full ~ 90+%

My service provider, Optimum Mobile, does not provide a way to offload voicemails. It fact they do not provide any way to access them online at all.

I would like to back up some of the voicemails that I will delete to free up space. I can email the audio portion and save it. However, there does not appear to be anyway to back up the transcripts. I tried to copy one but when I pressed on the transcript only one word was highlighted to be copied.

Any suggestions on how to back up the transcripts would be greatly appreciated.

iPhone 7, iOS 15

You may preserve voicemail transcripts by taking screenshots of them and preserving those.

Cellular carriers do not typically offer online access to voicemails. But they do offer telephone access to them.

Frequently, voicemails can be accessed either by pressing and holding the "1" key on the dialpad, or by dialing your own number from a different telephone and pressing some button (perhaps "*") while the greeting is played.

Voicemails are not stored on your iPhone.

Verizon provides online access to voicemails. You can listen to them online and copy them.

They appear to be. I can turn on Airplane mode and still access voicemails on my phone.
