Voicemail is not working on your iPhone and you don’t know what to do. It’s incredibly frustrating when voicemail won’t work, especially if you were expecting an important phone call from a friend or family member. In this article, I’ll show you what to do when your iPhone won’t play voicemails so you can fix the problem for good.
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.

Select Keypad, then select the Visual Voicemail icon. Select Start. Select Ok. From any Home screen, tap the Menu key. Tap Settings. Tap Call settings. Tap Voicemail. Tap Voicemail again.
