Issues with Visual Voicemail
by Vaelek on Jul.20, 2009, under Tips & Tricks
I myself have not run into this, but there have been a lot of other users reporting problems with their Visual Voicemail not notifying them of new messages. It’s not clear yet if this is an issue exclusive to jailbroken or IPCC hacked iPhones, or if it is an issue with the service in general. Either way, if you have stopped receiving Visual Voicemails, give these steps a try.
Open the Settings app - Select General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
- After resetting reboot your phone if it does not automatically.
There is also another method I have seen that isn’t quite as convenient:
- Open the Phone app and go to the dial pad
- Hold 1 until it dials your voicemail
- Check your messages
- Call your line from another phone and leave a message.
If neither of these solve the problem you should probably call AT&T about it, especially if you are using a non-jailbroken phone.
If one of these DO solve the problem, please post it in the comments along with whether you are jailbroken or have applied the IPCC hack.
*EDIT* 6/15/09 – This post seems to be getting another rush of visitors since the 3.1 release. I have seen the IPCC hack has been updated as well, is this issue occurring all over again in 3.1 for you guys?

Awsome advice on the first tip. I do have the IPCC mod and it still fixed my visual voicemail without killing my tethering.
Thanks a ton

Thank you!!!

None of these things seem to have worked for me. I have the IPCC mod.
