Voicemail Issues

My voicemail isn't working on my 5c. It plays this weird pulsing tone whenever someone calls my phone. My greeting doesn't play and it doesn't give the option to leave a voicemail. On my end, it looks like I have the voicemail message set.


I tried going to Verizon to see if they could do anything, but they immediately pawned me off to Apple. They said that Apple handles everything voicemail.


Thank you!

iPhone 5c, iOS 7.0.4
