If you recently switched carriers or upgraded to a new iPhone, you might be perplexed as to why you aren’t receiving voicemails. You must set up your voicemail in order to view the messages left for you by others because voicemail is a feature maintained by phone providers.
How to Configure IPhone Voicemail
Step 1: Access the mobile app
You can make calls, view contact and recent call information, and access your voicemail in the Phone app, which has a green handset as its icon.
Step 2: Select voicemail
In the lower right corner of your phone app, you should see voicemail. To configure voicemail, tap on it.
Step 3: Tap “Set Up Now”
On the voicemail tab, you will see Set Up Now if you haven’t configured voicemail on this phone. Your voicemail messages will appear here after everything is set up.
Step 4: Create a voicemail password
Though you can modify it later in Settings, pick a password that is simple to remember.
Step 5 Choose Your Voicemail Greeting
When someone calls your voicemail, this message will play; you can select between a pre-recorded or unique greeting.
You have the choice to record and playback a personalized greeting when you select one. You can repeat this process as much as necessary until you are happy with the greeting. Depending on the carrier, a prerecorded message serves as the standard greeting.
FAQ
Is It Possible to Share or Preserve a Voicemail?
Sometimes we simply cannot delete essential voicemails that have been left in our voicemail box. A voicemail message can be saved permanently by selecting it, tapping the Share icon (the square with the arrow pointing up), and then selecting how to save it.
Instead of preserving it, it can instead be sent to another person on the same screen as a voice recording.
What’s up With My Lack of Visual Voicemail?
Certain carriers support visual voicemail, while others do not. Therefore, it’s likely that your carrier doesn’t allow visual voicemail if you’ve already configured your voicemail inbox but don’t have it. The next step is to validate this with your specific carrier.
Can I Listen to My Voicemail on A Different Phone?
By dialing your own number, hitting * or # when you hear the voicemail greeting, and then entering your password to access your voicemail messages, you can check your voicemail.
How Do I Modify the IPhone’s Voicemail Greeting?
On an iPhone, select the voicemail tab and then tap on Greeting to alter your voicemail greeting. You can select a default or personalized greeting after listening to your current one. When selecting custom, you will be asked to record a greeting.
How Can I Modify the Password for My Voicemail?
Since voicemail is a carrier service, there aren’t many aspects of it that you can manage, but you can alter your password, and greeting, and choose whether to save or delete messages. You can modify your voicemail password by doing the following:
- Go to Settings
- Select Phone
- Choose Change Voicemail Password
- Enter the new password you want to use
How are voicemails deleted?
You can select a voicemail to delete by touching on it, followed by tapping the Delete icon. Select Edit, then choose the voicemails you wish to remove and press Erase. This will allow you to delete any voicemails at once.
