To enable Visual Voicemail, you must create a password by accessing your voicemail and then record a greeting as follows: Access the Telephone app, select the Voicemail tab and tap Configure now. Select a password for your voicemail and tap Done. Confirm your password by re-entering it and tap Done. Select Custom if you wish to save a new greeting or Default if you don’t wish to edit your message. Tap Save.
On an Android phone, a voicemail icon will appear at the top left of your screen in the Status area if you have an unread voicemail. Swipe your finger down from the top of the screen to view your notifications and then press New Voicemail. Your phone will dial the voice mailbox.

In this article, we at iLounge will guide you on how to set up voicemail on the iPhone 12.
-Hi, this is ______. I’m sorry I can’t answer the phone right now. Leave a message, and then wait by your phone until I call you back.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. Chances are, that voicemail that you’ve recorded and deleted thirty times has been just fine. Your main goal is not to get in the way of the caller leaving a message, which is exactly what can happen if you overthink it or drone on too long.
Thanks for the explanation. It does indeed sound like there’s no convenient solution till your whole system gets revamped. To briefly explain *why* I don’t want your voicemail enabled: I use my USMobile number as a forwarding line for Google Voice. Google Voice’s voicemail is frankly superior to yours so I want to use it exclusively. When your voicemail kicks in it interferes with Google Voice’s operation, causing me frustration and a real mess. I’ll give some thought to whether I want to be bothered with going through a quarterly exercise of calling and re-disabling your voicemail.
Thank you, US Mobile team. I had issues with voice mail on my new phone and you persisted until we finally got it resolved. It turned out to be erroneous numbers in the “Call Forwarding” settings. You were courteous and called me to work on it when that became more efficient than our emailing. Very good service.
Of the many things your phone can do, automatically recording a phone call is not one of them. Perhaps not including that feature is a security precaution for phone makers; it could be a potential liability issue. Regardless, from time to time, documenting a call is a useful thing to do, whether you’re conducting a phone interview or cataloging a customer service call.
5. Switch on and switch off Airplane Mode. You can do this from either Settings or the Control Center. On iPhone X or later, swipe down from the top right of the screen (where the battery indicator is).
Setting up visual voicemail on an iPhone is straightforward. First, check if your carrier allows for visual voicemail; many major providers do.
The service also recommends stating your name, apologizing for missing the call and that you will call them back. If possible include a time frame for a return call. Don’t ramble or include un-needed information.
Whenever you sign up to a new mobile network or switch to a new tariff, you should ask if voicemail is included in the tariff. Some tariffs include voicemail as part of your monthly contract, but many will charge you extra for using voicemail. Those extra costs can really mount up so it’s important to find out how much voicemail costs on your tariff.
If your landline doesn’t have a way to save messages already built in, the best way to save that gorgeous message is with a recorder. But before you rush out to get it, don’t forget that most smartphones have a built in recorder. Try that first and see if it will pick up her voice loud and strong. It should save the message as an MP3 automatically, that you can send (via email or text) directly to your computer for safe keeping. If the quality is not great, then you can borrow a recorder or purchase one. We like the Olympus brand ourselves, because they save in MP3 and can upload to a computer wirelessly. We have the vtech phone/answering system indicated above. The outgoing message/greeting is of my young daughter’s voice and we would like to save it somehow. Am wondering if you have a process or can suggest how an outgoing/greeting message can be downloaded for safekeeping.
Step 4: After dialing the code, wait for it to connect before moving on. You may be prompted to provide a language voicemail PIN, a password for your account, and/or other authentication information.
That’s it. I hope, voicemail set up on your new iPhone 6 will be activated successfully. Now, do start to Send Voicemail using the Verizon carrier of your iPhone.
Now select “Greeting” in the upper left of the screen. Tap “Custom” and then “Record” to record your personalized voicemail greeting.
Most mobile networks allow you to contact your voicemail system from another phone. This can be handy if your battery is flat, or if you don’t want to rack up extra costs when you’re overseas.
