    Hi kartheek sarabu,

    Since voicemail is a service provided by your carrier, I would suggest contacting them first to make sure there are no issues with your account.  This is one of the steps included in the basic troubleshooting for voicemail.

    Get help with voicemail on your iPhone

    Try these troubleshooting steps for issues with voicemail on your iPhone:

    1. Restart your iPhone.
    2. Check for a carrier settings update.
    3. Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    4. Make sure that your voicemail is set up. You can check this by dialing your phone number from your iPhone.
    5. Make sure that you have a good cellular network connection. You can check this by trying to make an outgoing call.
    6. Call your iPhone from another phone and try to leave yourself a voicemail.
    7. Reset your network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    8. Reset your voicemail password.
    9. Contact your carrier and make sure that you have the voicemail feature on your plan.

    Take care,

    I contacted the service provider. They said they don't have any information from their end. I tried all the steps what you mentioned in the post but its not worked for me.

    You still need to go back to your carrier until they sort it out.  Voicemail or otherwise is a carrier problem and nothing to do with your phone, so go and continue to pester your carrier until they sort it out for you.

     

    Nobody else here can do anything to help you.  This is not a phone problem but a carrier problem.  Contact your carrier again.

    Hey Kartheek I am facing the same problem in my iPhone 6s and my carrier is Vodafone. I tried all the solutions I found so far and tried contacting both my carrier as well as Apple support but both were unable to help me. As its not a phone problem so Apple support representative asked me to contact my carrier once again but my carrier said they don't know what is Visual Voicemail service. I currently do call the voicemail no. to check my voice mails but the voicemail button doesn't works and gives same voicemail call failed error. If anyone knows any solution please help. Thank you.

    This works for me. But please note it is not the same as visual voice mail what you get in USA.

    It works the classical way.


    To activate voice mail in Airtel (Karnataka region).

    Dial

    Step1 dial *321*671#

    This will activate voicemail in your Airtel phone

     

    Or

    Send SMS: START VMS to 52555

     

    Step2 dial 52555

    Follow the instructions and enter your new 4 digit pin

     

    To activate call forwarding to voice mail during busy dial *67*9840011999#

    If busy

    Check Status: *#67*11#

    Activate: *67*9840011999*11#

    Deactivate: #67*11#

     

    if no answer

    Check Status: *#61*11#

    Activate: *61*9840011999*11*[sec]# choose anything 5 to 30 secs

    Deactivate: #61*11#

     

    If unreachable

    Check Status: *#62*11#

    Activate: *62*9840011999*11#

    Deactivate: #62*11#

    hey there,

    I had the same problem, and here is the solution.

    from your keypad key in *5005*86*XXX#  and press the call button. XXX is your voicemail number. for Mumbai Vodafone its 51234.

     

    Now check with your voicemail icon, this should work.

    My friend had the same issue. I told him to call himself from his phone ofcourse and the call connected him to his voicemail. I hope this resolves your problem.
