Please contact your Carrier as VoiceMail is a carrier-specific feature --> Check your voicemail on iPhone - Apple Support

You may try some of these steps, please check after each step...
The delayed Voice Mail message typically indicates an issue with the settings on your iPhone. There are several potential reasons for this error, and here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow to resolve the problem:
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to reach out to Apple Support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your device model and iOS version.
Right, I understand. I meant that they aren’t delivered after I switch back to normal mode. Then days later they appear. I’m guessing that this happens strictly when I’m on airplane mode, but not certain.
I should add, it’s not just that the notifications didn’t appear. I never got the voicemail message. Not until days later. I called AT&T and they said they fixed it, but we shall see if they really did, or just said they did.
I’ve tried all of the steps above and they didn’t work for me either. It’s definitively an iOS iPhone issue. I’ve had this issue for years. Toggled and played with settings and even upgraded my phone. This isn’t a carrier issue. This is an iOS issue for sure and I’m disappointed Apple has refused to address this or fix this for years.
For what it's worth, I'm on T-Mobile and have experienced this problem intermittently for years. Since I don't use voicemail that much, I haven't logged when and where. But this week, I saw my dentist made a call on Wednesday, and didn't leave a voicemail. The voicemail appeared today, Friday.
Yes, I have a business and my clients messages are delay hours to days. However, Verizon gas lights me and blames it on my phone (iPhone 14 pro) which I keep on all software updates. I’ve probably lost new business too. ITS NOT THE PHONE!
8 months ago my 11 died and the insurance me a 12pro. Pain in the neck ever since. Getting voice mails hours later ( too darn late to get that dr appointment) and additionally, when using internet on phone all my calls are sent directly to voice mail which doesn’t record or even show up in recent calls!
Furious! Help!
Same issue here for years, across multiple generations of iPhones and iOS. Currently at iPhone 13 Pro running IOS v. 17.2.1 and using AT&T.
I have tolerated the issue as I typically do not use VM often but I am increasingly forced to do so due to the very large increase in spam calls in recent times and my growing need to use my phone for business purposes.
Has there been any acknowledgement of this issue or, better yet, progress?
Update. While we did see some improvement with iOS 17.1 and visual voicemail.
The issue continues. Humans can make AI that generates video in real time, but our phones can’t deliver voicemail notifications on time.
Voicemail messages are delayed by 30 hours ! This causes a major problem when doctors or my 88 year old mother can’t reach me with an urgent message ! And sorry, I don’t pick up the phone for every spam call ! That’s why I have voice mail ! It’s useless to share this on the forum, we all should call apple tech to complain en-mass !!!! This can mean the difference between life and death for many of us !

I have an iPhone 13 Pro and have the same problem. My entire family has it. My dad has an iPhone 14 Pro Max and has it. And when he had an iPhone 12 Pro Max he experienced it just as much. It’s an issue that hasn’t changed for years and is a huge problem. Even with the introduction of live voicemails it seems like there was no attempt to look into, let alone resolve, this problem.
Knock! Knock! Anyone home at Apple? This discussion is a total waste of time!
No resolution that works is offered by Apple. I don’t know about all the others, but I’m fed up with missing important medical voice mails!
It is unconscionable that Apple has not fixed this problem. For those of us who rely on our iPhone for business… missing calls and receiving messages days later causes serious credibility issues. Come on Apple… stand up to the problem, stop blaming carriers and fix it.
Recently some of my voicemail messages have been delayed by hours. Don’t know why some are delayed and others are not. This started after the last iOS update! This can be devastating if an urgent message is delayed.
We have a cell phone tower practically in our backyard. :-)
I am on Verizon not a MVNO. So unfortunately that is not the reason. This issue has been reported on every major carrier in the US.
