For personal users, a funny iPhone voicemail message may be just what you want. It’s still a good idea to keep it short, but you can have some fun by using your iPhone to record a funny voicemail message played over a speaker on your computer or another device.
A dot on the Voicemail icon indicates the number of messages received that have not yet been heard. To listen to your messages, go to the Visual Voicemail, select a message and tap the read/pause button. You can fast forward or rewind the message by sliding the reading head. You can also transfer the sound to speakers and call the number where the message originated.

To set up Visual Voicemail, tap Set Up Now. You’ll be prompted to enter and confirm a voicemail password. Next, you’ll have the option to choose the default voicemail greeting or record your own. If you want to record your own custom greeting, tap Custom. Once you’ve entered created your password and chosen your greeting, you’ll be able to receive voicemails and view them in the Phone app.
Voicemail access and the initial password should have been set by your carrier or service provider when your device was first activated. But keep in mind that some carriers don’t use passwords when it comes to voicemail. If you don’t know if this service is enabled or you forgot the password, you should check in with them first. If you see the contact list opening, tap on the phone dialer icon located in the bottom-right corner.Once you’re in keypad dialer, touch and hold on number 1 key. Now one of two things can happen. One, if you the service is enabled your phone will dial the voicemail number and prompt you to insert or create a new password. You might also be asked to record the greeting message at this stage. And two, in case your carrier didn’t configure this service when your device was first activated, you’ll be prompted with a message to insert your voicemail number. If the first scenario is the case, follow the instructions provided by your carrier to finish setting up your voicemail. In the event that you’re prompted to insert your voicemail number, tap on Add Number. If you don’t know your voicemail number, call your carrier and ask for it or search online for something like “voicemail number + *YourCarrierName* + *YourCountry*”. Now follow the instructions provided by your service provider to finish setting up your voicemail. Note: If you bought a used phone or you recently changed the service provider, chances are you have the wrong voicemail number set up. In cases like this, open up the App drawer and tap on Phone. From there, tap on More and select Settings. Once you’re in Settings, scroll all the way down to Voicemail settings and tap on the entry. This will open a pop-up in which you can change the voicemail number.
