I'm trying to record a custom greeting on my new iPhone 5. It seems to record fine - I'm able to play it back - but when I hit save I get a message saying that greeting save failed. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.
iPhone 5, iOS 7
I am having the same issue. If I find a solution I will post it.
Have you tried calling your phone number? If not, try calling your personal number from you phone. It will then prompt you to set up voice mail.
I was also frustrated with the same problem and went online to look in other forums as well . The advice I got that worked for me was to go into settings and turn my Cellular data setting to "on" . Once I did this I was able to record then save the greeting. Even though I was connected to WiFi for some reason it would not work. So try again with your celluar setting set to on and it should work.
Worked for me!!!
I didn't try the cellular data plan. For me I had to call my own number and set up the greeting the old fashoined way. Once i didn that, the visual voicemail area began working, and I was able to then re-record, and save the greeting there.
This is exactly what i had to do, dialed my own number and record my greeting the old way - actually, re-record a new greeting. Then what is the point of the screen? If i want to use the screen to record a greeting, it takes abt 5 minutes for the screen to retrieve the old greeting and then will NOT save the new one. Useless!
Your advice worked for me! Thank you
Same issue - and turning ON my cellular data worked! Thx.
