That just means your carrier doesn’t support visual voicemail on iPhone. If you call your voicemail, you’ll be prompted to set it up if it isn’t set up already. If it is already set up then you will just hear any new voicemail messages played back to you.

So happy to finally find a video that shows how to set up voicemail. I do have one question though. When prompted to set up a 4-6 letter password, I chose a 6 number one. However, when the recording let me know that my password had been established, it gave me a 4 number password (which is not what I selected). So, I'm confused as to where the 4 letter password came from, as it wasn't what I had submitted (?).

[@piousqueen]

The 4 numbers given to you as your password were picked in each 6 numbers you provided

[@robote7679]

This was just what I needed. I now have a phone greeting. Thank you so much!

[@GIJew]

Very important to have a unique PIN. It’s very easy to spoof a number nowadays, and if someone dials your number while spoofed as your number, they’ll be prompted with the voicemail menu and asked to enter the pin. If they guess it right (1234, 1111, 4321, etc.) they have unrestricted access to all of your voicemails which could have personal info or financial information.

[@bfnq]

so if it is desactivated they cant see?

[@GIJew]

@@bfnq If the voicemail is deactivated then there shouldn't be any voicemails for someone to listen to anyways. But that wouldn't stop someone from setting up a voice mailbox using the same method that I outlined above. Best thing you can do is just have a voice mailbox with a secure PIN.

For this to work, do you have to sign up for a voicemail option and pay for it before set up? When I go through the steps, when I get to the voicemail option, I get a box that says, "Call Voicemail." When I hit the button, it dials but nothing happens. That's it. No other options.
