Depending on where you reside and which carrier you use, you’ll have to set up voicemail in a different way. In this guide, we’ll be having a look at how to set up voicemail service on iPhone devices, no matter where you live. So, stay tuned as we get started.
How to Set Up Voicemail on iPhone
- To get started, go to the Phone app, which is by default situated at the bottom of your iPhone home screen.
- Tap the Voicemail button in the bottom-right corner to continue. Once everything is set up, this is also how you will retrieve your voicemail messages.
- This should lead you to a screen with Visual Voicemail setup instructions and a Set Up Now button in the center.
- To begin setting your Visual Voicemail service hit Set Up Now.
- Enter a passcode for your voicemail service when requested. If you ever need to view your voicemail messages from another phone, or if your iPhone can’t access the Visual Voicemail service, such as when you don’t have data coverage, you’ll need this passcode.
- After you’ve chosen a passcode and verified it, you may choose how callers will be greeted when they reach your voicemail.
- Choose Default to use the default visual voicemail greeting, or Custom to record your message.
- Tap the Record button to start recording your personalized voicemail if you want to use one. When you’re done, press Stop. If you intend to listen to your voicemail, tap Play.
- When you’re satisfied with everything, hit Save.
