Hello, joycefrompalmetto.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities

I see that you are having issues changing your voicemail greeting because it is grayed out. I rely on my iPhone to operate correctly and I am happy to assist.

Is this your first time setting up voicemail on your device? If so, have a look at the information provided in the following article. Visual Voicemail on your iPhone

Get help with Visual Voicemail

If you can't set up Visual Voicemail, make sure that your carrier supports this feature.

If you need help, try these steps. Check your Visual Voicemail after each step:

  1. Try to call someone to check your cellular network connection.
  2. Make sure that you set up your voicemail. To check, dial your phone number from your iPhone.
  3. Call your iPhone from another phone and try to leave yourself a voicemail.
  4. Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.
