How do I change my voicemail outgoing message?

The software update shouldn't matter. Are you on a supported iPhone carrier that supports visual voicemail? If so, go to the voicemail tab and click on Greeting. That allows you to record your custom greeting. If you do not have visual voicemail, you need to check with the carrier, as voicemail is a carrier function.

if voicemail is open with your carrier, tap on the voicemail icon and let the options run until you hear something about your personal options (4 for me) and i think it might be there, then record your message

The Voicemail icon is accessed by tapping on the Phone app icon. From there, you should see a number of selections on the bottom of the screen, Favorites, Recents, Contacts, Keypad and Voicemail. When you go to Voicemail, you can access your voicemail messages, delete them and in the top left of the screen, you can find the place to access your greeting, and the ability to use a default or record or review a custom greeting.

I don't recall seeing that error before. However, since voicemail is a carrier function, for it to work correctly, you need to be connected to cellular and cellular data. Are you connected to your cellular carrier and data? Otherwise, contact your carrier to see what the problem is.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for your help. I contacted carrier and after another 40 minutes (more or less) carrier tech was able to fix.

Now I'm trying to understand why my email is disappearing and drifting into new mailboxes. That i think is an IOS 11.0.01 quirk.

I dont seem to have any options with my carrier, but I did manage to record an outgoing "Greeting" message after closing out my phone app and relaunching it.

I got through to my VM recording, on iPhone7 and changed message.

I received the following error code: The operation couldn't be completed (com.apple-phone error 1035.)

Next?

Thank you, Chris. I will call my carrier again. I just spent 4.5 hours on the phone with them to get my phone programmed to make and receive calls.

I hope this takes less time.

That is interesting. Are you using a supported carrier for the iPhone? If so, it certainly should not have taken 4.5 hours to get it working.

yup. carrier is supported. still on the phone w them now. working w tech again.

Checked email on my phone and trying changing certain settings. I suppose if that fails I will have to get the IOS tutorial. 😊
