I got a new cell phone recently. As the world stood in line to pick up the latest iPhone 8, I graduated to the 6S. I pride myself on that actually. As with all new phones in the 21st century, the voicemail must be set up anew. I used the default message for the first few days, but finally settled down to record a more personal greeting.
From 1 October 2016 the Apple Visual Voicemail feature will be activated by default for all Truphone customers with an iPhone running on iOS 8.1 or above.

The default voicemail greeting on the iPhone plays generic Your call has been forward to an automated voice message system recording. If you use your phone for work, create a personalized greeting that tells people you're a professional. If your phone is for personal use, create a personalized greeting so people hear your voice and know they called the right number.
Some carriers require you to reset the voicemail password as a security precaution when you get a new iPhone. Sometimes, updating it manually online or by calling customer support can reset your iPhone’s connection to the voicemail server and fix the problem.
You may encounter some problems when using your Visual Voicemail. To fix the issue and listen to your messages, follow these steps: Make sure your mobile is up-to-date by accessing Settings > General > Information. Make sure you have the latest version of iOS installed on your iPhone. Test your cellular network connection and reset network settings, if necessary, by pressing Go to Settings > General > Reset. Check that you have properly configured your voicemail by dialing your phone number and leaving a message, both from your mobile and from another device. If you have an extra plan on your mobile, switch over to it to test your first voicemail by leaving a message yourself. Check any missed messages by holding the 1 key on your keypad to call the voicemail.
Some networks will provide a special number for you to ring, although with O2 and some others you just have to dial your own mobile phone number and then hit the * key to enter the voicemail system. Again, you’ll need to make sure that you’ve set up a secure PIN for your voicemail to make sure that none of Rupert Murdoch’s minions can hack into your voicemail from the comfort of their desk.
To set up your voicemail, press *98 from your home phone or call the retrieval number you received with your welcome letter. Voice prompts will guide you through the rest of the steps.
There are two popular apps to perform this service: Slydial and WhatCall. While Slydial used to be the market leader, it’s since been flooded with poor reviews due to the service only working sometimes. WhatCall continued to work for a time, but as of February 2021, also appears to be having major issues and is only working sporadically.
When you first set up your Android phone, it may ask you to record your greeting for the caller. You can also keep the default greeting stored on the device. But, in future, if you want to customize the Voicemail greeting or want to create a new one, then you may need to delete the old recordings from Android. It may not be necessary depending on the Android device model & version; it’s good to know the process.
Please note that Apple Visual Voicemail uses a very small amount of data from your data allowance - typically around a maximum of 85KB for a 30 second message.
