Seeking Help with Visual Voicemail on Pixel XL

I’ve recently been having some issues with the visual voicemail feature on my Google Pixel XL, and I’m hoping someone here can help me out. It seems like I can’t access my voicemails as I used to, and whenever I try to check them, the app just doesn’t respond.

What I’ve Tried So Far:

  • Restarting the Phone: A classic first step, but it hasn’t worked.
  • Checking for App Updates: I made sure that the Visual Voicemail app is up to date through the Google Play Store.
  • Clearing App Cache and Data: I went into Settings → Apps, found the Visual Voicemail app, and cleared the cache and data.
  • Network Settings: I made sure I have a stable network connection, and I’ve even switched between Wi-Fi and cellular data to see if that makes a difference.

Questions:

  1. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
  2. Are there any specific settings I should check to make sure everything is configured correctly for visual voicemail?
  3. Has anyone else dealt with bugs in the app? What was the fix for you?
  4. Is there a way to reinstall the app without losing my existing voicemail messages?

I’ve had trouble setting up visual voicemail on my Pixel XL too. Make sure you have the Visual Voicemail app updated and that your phone is connected to a strong network. Sometimes a simple restart helps!

Great advice! Also, don’t forget to check your phone’s settings. Go to Settings > Apps > Visual Voicemail, and see if notifications are enabled.

Honestly, visual voicemail has never worked for me. I’ve seen many people have issues. Is it really that complicated to set up?

5

It shouldn’t be too difficult! Just follow the setup steps and ensure your carrier supports visual voicemail. I’d be happy to guide you through it if you want!

6

Have you checked if your carrier settings are up to date? Sometimes visual voicemail settings require you to update these before it can work properly.

7

Yes! This happened to me too, and once I updated, it worked like a charm! Be sure to confirm with your carrier.

Visual voicemail can be finicky! If it’s still not working, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. It often clears up any glitches.

Did that and still faced issues. Maybe I should just stick to basic voicemail? It works just fine.

Don’t give up! Sometimes it just takes a bit more time and tries to get it working. Have you tried resetting network settings as a last resort?

11

I haven’t done that yet. I’ll give it a shot! Thanks for the tip.

It seems an unnecessary hassle, but I guess it’s worth a try if I keep encountering problems. Thanks for the reminder!

Another common problem is missed visual voicemail due to network issues. If you have Wi-Fi calling enabled, try disabling it and see if that helps.

18

Good point! I should check that too. I never thought about the Wi-Fi setting affecting calls.
