A variety of reasons may lead to iPhone voicemail not working. The settings on the device may have been changed by an upgrade of the iOS thereby causing connection problems. Your carrier may also have a poor connection in your area, causing the slow retrieval of your voicemail messages. Whatever the reason, there are many ways in which you can rectify this problem. Here are some of them.
Part 1. How to Fix your iPhone Voicemail Problems
#1. Issues related to device settings:
Restart your iPhone and reset the device settings. Usually this should solve the issue, but to make sure that it does not happen again, Tap on settings and go to the general reset feature. Click on "Reset" followed by "Reset Network Settings". This can be summarized as “Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings”.
#2. Issues related to carrier settings:
Restart your iPhone and make sure it is connected to the internet. Tap on Settings, then go to the General feature and select “About”. This can be summarized as “Settings>General>About”. If there are mandatory settings, you will get a prompt that only says “OK”. If it is a simple update, then you will have the option of accepting or declining the update.
#3. Issues related to Voicemail settings:
Your changed password to Voicemail could cause iPhone Voicamail not working. This is the essiest situation as you just need to re-enter the new iPhone Voicemail password and it will work again.
#4. Why does iPhone voicemail experience delays?
The answer to this will lie in the settings of your voicemail. Usually after installing a tethering hack, the settings of the .IPCC file which has the carrier settings, is changed, thereby disabling your voicemail. The solution to this is quite simple; restore your voicemail settings on the network using “Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings”.
#5. Why iPhone cannot connect to voicemail?
When your voicemail screen shows “Cannot Connect to Voicemail”, the error is caused when you change SIM cards or restore the device to factory settings. Here is how to correct the error.
Step 1: Call your own number from the iPhone, and you will be connected to your voicemail.
Step 2: Press the star (*) to go to the menu; if you have a password, enter it now.
Step 3: Once in the Menu, select “Personal Settings”.
Step 4: Select "Administrative Options" and "Passwords".
Step 5: Follow the on-screen prompts to temporarily disable your password.
Step 6: Hang up and then repeat from step 1 again, but this time, when you get to step 6, turn on your password.
Step 7: Hang up once again, and wait for a minute or two, and you will get a dialog pop-up which will ask you for your password.
Step 8: Enter the password, and you will be able to connect to your voicemail once again. If your voicemail has a lot of messages, then it will take some time for them to be added, so be patient.
