Iphone 17 Greeting setup issue

Does anyone know how to fix the greeting setup on my new iphone 17. When I click on Greetings the icon in the upper right hand corner just keeps spinning so I can't click custom to setup my voicemail greeting.

iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26

Custom voicemail greeting broken after upgrade to iOS 17.2 After upgrading to iOS 17.2, my custom voicemail greeting is gone. When I try to access the voice mail greeting setup in the Phone app, it stalls on “Retrieving Greeting…” and after a minute or so a popup appears with the error: The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.mobile-phone error 1034.) I can’t record a new custom greeting either. Prior to the upgrade, I was running iOS 17.1.2 and my custom voicemail greeting was working properly. Hopefully this is a temporary situation, but once again, I feel that superfluous features are being touted in iOS upgrades while ignoring the stability of core functionalities. The latter should be bulletproof… it is a phone, after all.

Voicemail is a carrier provided feature, so contact your carrier to ensure they support voicemail and have provisioned your account for voicemail.
