Visual voicemail is currently unavailable….

Ditto. Reboot worked>

If you're having this problem and your Cellular Data is ON (like with me), all I had to do was turn off Cellular Data and then turn it back on!

Thank you, kohls--your solution saved my day! Apparently I had turned the cellular data button to "off", because as soon as I followed your advice and turned it back to "on" my visual,voice mail reappeared.

Thank you!

this helped me, i had the same problem and followed your instructions. thank you SO MUCH for posting this!!!

Hope I don't have to do this every time or reboot the phone just to get rid of the visual mail icon.

This solution worked for me.

I've had this problem on my iphone4s only after the latest ios update. Whether its att(carrier) or apple, they both get to share the profits, therefore they both get to share the problem. Although I've tried all of the suggestions above, with limited and temporary fixx, the problem still persists, not only do i get the visual voicemail unavailable, forcing me to "call voicemail" to get unheard messages, but the voicemail icon doesn't update correctly and gives the impression there are still unheard messages. This is what I've found...after trying all the above, you may still have to go to the App Store, check for app updates( even the non-apple apps) ...download and install the updates and get this.....open and close each and every update for them to properly apply before the total reset thing will actually fix all the problems. If you're having the same symptons...you will probably be surprised with missing messages when the visual voicemail becomes visible, and your voicemail list will give accurate count of messages heard and unheard. This is also important because merely "calling voicemal" doesn't tell you when a particular message was left, and the visual voicemail does.. and by the way, It will happen again and again till APPLE/ATT get it fixed on their end. Is this just another ploy to get people to boost ATT bottom lim line by tricking/forcing users to call voicemail an excessive amount of times....when I listen to a message by calling, and choose 7 to delete the heard message, the list doesn't reflect that this has been done, thus forcing users to double check by calling again...this is confusing and cruel to the ederly, newbie or seasoned user who hasn't discovered the fixes and are racking up unnecessary call minutes and wasting time. But a typical example of bad business and reputations in a competitive phone market...

Thanks! The cold reboot solved the problem 🙂. By the way, my carrier is Verizon. So it appears not to be just a ATT problem.

Interestingly, I had turned data on and off several times (which I don't usually do) in the days before this happened.

I recommend to Follow HeidarS's post bellow

Go to Setting-->General--> all the way down, tap on Reset--> Reset Network Settings.

It sure fixes it.

I had to turn off the cellular data, do a hard reboot and then turn back on the cellular to get it to work...

Thanks this fixed mind too. My iPhone 5c started doing this when I set the password for voicemail. I have not updated the software yet.

The problem occurred after upgrading an iPhone 5 to 7.1.2. Your solution worked after several others failed. Thanks!

I started having the same prob when I upgraded to I OS. 7.4 but only intermittently..I found I could solve it by turning Cellular Data button OFF then coming out of voicemail back to main screen then going back to Cellular Data and turning ON again. It worked every time for me, although it would come back occasionally and infrequently with No particular pattern. Hope this helps. 😎?

Hard reboot just worked for me.

Thanks all.

Thank you Kohls, that's exactly what it was in my case.
