Unable to Retrieve Voicemail

Trying to retrieve voicemail but I'm requested to set up a password and greeting. After entering a new password, I then receive this message: "Voicemail Unavailable. Could not authorize access". How do I solve this? The problem occurred after installing IOS 17.0.3.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 17

Unable to access my voicemail I recently transferred all my data from an iPhone 8 to a new iPhone 14. Now I don’t have any voicemail. People can leave messages, but I cannot access them. When I click on voicemail, I get a message, saying “to retrieve a voicemail, first set a password and greeting” so I click the set up button, and then it says to enter a voicemail password. I put that in two separate times, and then it says, “voicemail unavailable, could not authorize access” . What do I need to do?

I recommend that you contact your carrier. Your carrier manages the Voicemail feature and its operation. Your carrier should be able to resolve this issue for you at their end.
