Q: I keep receiving a message for me to put in a password on the iphone 5s in order to even use my voicemail. I just bought the phone over the weekend and prior to this phone I had an Android. Never had a password for voicemail. Help.

I recently moved from an Android to an iphone. In the Android, I did not have a password for accessing voicemail. This phone keeps asking me to change my password. The message will not go away. It prompts me for my old password which I do not have one. When I make one up, it says that is not valid. How do I add a password and make all of this go away?

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.1

You always had a password for your voicemail. You forgot about it is what you meant.

Call your carrier and get the PW reset.

If your carrier offers Visual Voicemail, you can change your voicemail password directly from your iPhone: Tap Settings > Phone > Change Voicemail Password.
