i can't customize my voicemail greeting
when I try and do a custom greeting, it won't save the greeting and goes back to the default
iPhone 4, iOS 7.1
Don't forget to delete all of your old voice mails. That fixed it for me.

This solution worked for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/3lm2eh/difficulty_changing_voicemail_gre eting_in_ios_9/cyngnjr
Go to Settings>Phone>Change Voicemail Password. Enter a voicemail password then click done. Re-enter password then tap done again. Now go to your voicemail greeting and you will be able to edit your greeting.

deleting vmails did the trick!!! thx
Thank you. That worked. Turning wifi on and off didn't make any difference.
I have tried all of the suggestions above and still can't save a custom voicemail greeting. seems like such a simple task, I can't believe Apple hasn't fixed this bug. Any other suggestions? =)
Tried all of these suggestions. Still can't get voicemail to record greeting. Says it is on custom greeting, won't allow me to play. Won't allow me to switch to default. Suggestions?
I'm experiencing the same issue. I've tried every one of the suggestions in the thread, with no success. Were you able to get yours to work? If so, what did you end up having to do? Thanks!
This was extremely helpful followed your instructions and worked like a charm, on IOS 9.
I tried all of the other suggestions (turning off Wi-Fi; restarting my phone; clearing VMs) and none worked. Changing my VM password finally resolved it.
I have tried every single one of these suggestions and nothing has worked...any other ideas to avoid having to go to the genius bar?
What did your cell provider suggest when you talked to them?
Thank you so much! I tried every other suggestion on this thread first (I wanted to save a few of the messages), but none of them helped. Deleting all my voicemails was the only thing that worked.
This is the only advice that helped me Thanks so much! Been trying for hours to fix not being able to change my voicemail greeting!
I tried everything else first - deleted all messages, cleared deleted messages, rebooted phone, etc. Then I found your solution and it worked! Thanks, Joe B. Skeen!
This worked for me too!
Thank you SO much. The combination of putting it on cell data instead of WIFI and deleting the old voice mails did it!
