Voicemails not showing up on iPhone

My voicemails are not showing up on my phone

I have been dealing with missing visual voicemails for over two years. Have been into the store or called tech too many times to count. I have also upgraded a phone to try to correct. I have been doing a network reset but now that isn't working all the time. Did your reset help long term or are you still having issues?

I’m not able to access my voicemail

Solved for me:

1. Call your carrier's voicemail from your phone by holding the 1 key
2. Listen to your voicemails
3. Have someone call you and leave a test voicemail
4. The carrier's voicemail should then sync up to your Phone app and you'll see your other saved messages appear again

Note:

• You may have to set/disable a voicemail password. I did this, but not sure if it was necessary.
• There seems to just be a re-sync that happens when calling your voicemail carrier.

Good luck.

There is no Voicemail icon.

You need turn On your voicemail box.

Then call your voicemail box number -> xxxx to listen to the main menu.

Every Carrier has their own main menu, so check it with your carrier.

An example here:

1.

Choose 2 for the personal settings of your voicemail. 

Choose 3 for PIN code and choose a 4 digit code. You can also change your pin code here and indicate when your voicemail should ask for the pin code.

FYI: if you enter an incorrect code 3 times and you will receive a temporary code via SMS. You can change that later. 

2.

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.

Which voicemail box number you should call depends on your carrier, the voicemail settings are controlled by your carrier, so contact your carrier.

When you get a voicemail you will get a sms message from your Carrier, so you can listen to your voicemail messages.

My voice mail red bubble isn’t showing up when people are leaving me messages

Voice mail not showing up

because I could listen to them when I accessed my mail box.

Perhaps you need to ask you carrier the code/pin to access your voicemail box.

The voicemail settings are controlled by your carrier, so contact / call your carrier.

I don't see the small red balloon flag notifyin me about how many vm's i have that were not listened to.

When you get a voicemail you will get a sms message from your Carrier, so you can listen to your voicemail messages.

For each voicemail you get a message from your carrier. 

The voicemail settings are controlled by your carrier, so contact / call your carrier.

You will get an answer faster if you contact / call your carrier.

VoiceMail, Visual Voicemail, and Voicemail transcription all are available from select carriers in select countries or regions.

Please contact your Carrier to know about the features they offer.

This was a great tip @zw8, thanks. I have AT&T on a new iphone 15, red bubble but no voicemail listed (although "Recent" calls listed the caller correctly with the correct time of the call). as zw8 said, press and hold 1 to access voicemail, listen to voicemail, save it.

Then i logged in to AT&T wireless and checked out their online voicemail troubleshooter:

after answering a few questions it responded with "we've sent a sync/update/reset to your phone. did this fix it?"

i shut down and restarted the phone and now all is good. i see VM and transcript and the red bubble disappeared after i reviewed the call.
