“No Voicemail” after iOS 17 Update

Hello. I have an iPhone 14 Pro. I updated to iOS 17 when it became available. I have since updated to 17.0.2. I had visual voicemail in my phone when it originally updated. Once updated, I would go to voicemail and it said “No Voicemail”. If I restart my phone, my old voicemails will reappear and sometimes I then have new voicemails. But, they then disappear again and I have to restart. But I’m missing new voicemails because of this issue and can’t respond to old ones that I’ve left in my visual voicemail. Sometimes the red notification dot shows on the voicemail button in the phone app but it’s a red dot with no number in it and when I go to voicemail, it says “No Voicemail”. This has been very disruptive. Any help on a permanent fix would be greatly appreciated.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

Found solution:

go to settings

go to phone

go to live voicemail

turn off

note; check your bill for long distance calls every time you have used the play button on the transcription voicemail as you may have been charged for long distance call as I was!

This worked my voicemail is back to normal 😉

I am utterly heartbroken. I did the latest update with iOS17 on my old phone before trying to transfer the data over to the new phone. I noticed the new phone didn't have my voicemail history. Then I thought for sure it was on the old. Nope, they're all gone. The last voicemails from my late mother are now lost. If I had known I was going to lose them, I wouldn't have done the update, and I would have found a way to save them and I would have transcribed them... but I felt so assured that apple would would keep the voicemails, that apple would transfer the voicemails to a new device. It seemed like a given. It's amazing with all this technology, our digital lives and memories can be so easily erased. I am going to try calling AT&T tomorrow, but I'm not very confident they will be able to help with this. Fingers crossed. Namaste.

IS apple planning on doing anything about this? I am utterly devastated that all my voicemails from the last 5 years are lost!! Like so many of you, when I updated to IOS 7.4 they disappeared. I was saving voicemails from both my parents who are gone now!! This is terrible. Nothing that is suggested here has worked. PLEASE help -- apple please fix this!!! if you are on this thread and your emailed returned please tell me how you did it. I have tried everything. Is apple planning on doing anything to help??

Stop saying that! Just to be utterly clear…I had all of my voicemails until I updated to 17.4 last night. It is on Apple’s end!!! Your new update is unable to sync with my carriers voicemail. We are not idiots and are just trying to get it fixed. Stop blaming the carrier!!!

Just to be utterly clear, Chris was answering a DIFFERENT question back in November, LONG BEFORE iOS 17.4 was released, and his answer was correct 4 months ago.

I updated my phone this morning and all my voicemails were gone and I couldn't listen to my voicemail greeting. I re-booted my phone, and all the voicemails came back. I'm going to wait a while before I call support about the voicemail greeting issue, it seems like this is something Apple is working on, despite their company line which points users to their cell phone carrier. It's sad to me that Apple would do that and not take responsibility from the jump for these issues!
