I’ll try that! Thanks for the tip! It’s like my voicemail is playing hide and seek.
Haha, that’s a good one! But seriously, checking your voicemail settings would definitely be a smart move. I’ve had similar issues with my Android.
I wonder if misconfigured voicemail systems are more common than we think. A lot of people just assume everything works as intended.

It can be frustrating! Make sure your network settings aren’t in airplane mode or anything silly. That can cause problems too!
Absolutely! I’ve heard many friends with similar problems after switching carriers. It’s something they should tackle.

Sometimes a simple restart of your phone can help with these issues. It’s like the elusive ‘turn it off and back on’ fix! 
Good point, @santosjohn! It’s amazing how often that works! But if it doesn’t help, definitely reach out to your carrier.
If all else fails, consider using a third-party voicemail app. They can offer better reliability and functionality than default systems.
Thanks for the advice, @obrienmark! I’ll look into that. It’s frustrating not knowing where my messages are going!
I had a similar issue! Try restarting your phone first and see if that helps. Sometimes a simple reboot can fix a lot of problems.
That’s good advice! If that doesn’t work, check that your voicemail is set up correctly in your phone’s settings.
Make sure your carrier settings are updated. Go to Settings > About Phone > Carrier Settings and see if there’s an update available.
I had to go to my carrier’s app and update the settings there too! Such a hassle sometimes.
Good point, Benjamin! I also recommend checking for any available software updates under Settings > System > Software Update.

Ugh, why does tech always have to be so complicated? Why are we even dealing with this?

Absolutely, Spencer! A software update can fix bugs and improve performance, which might resolve your voicemail issue.
What about resetting the network settings? That can sometimes clear up any issues with voicemail reception too.

Good idea! Just remember, this will erase saved Wi-Fi passwords, so make sure you have those noted down!

I’ve had mixed results with resetting the network settings. Sometimes it’s helpful, other times not at all!
I tried all this and still couldn’t get voicemail. I just wish I had a personal tech wizard at this point!
