[NFBF-L] Voice Mail Box

Another thing I have noticed is that I don’t appear to be able to access my messages from another phone, even if I use my voice mail Pin number.  Even if I try to record a greeting, if I call from another phone Seri overrides it and does its own greeting.  I wonder what would happen if I tried to delete the entire voice mail service and then restart it, except I don’t know how to actually do that.  This hardly sounds like being more advanced.  Just my opinion.

Well, I think one of the things that makes this difficult is that it is intermittent and they don’t know how to reproduce it because it doesn’t happen that way all the time. There are some voicemails that I get right away and then there are others that I don’t and I’ve even seen this with email where I don’t see it And then I do a search or something and it’ll show up and it’ll be in the middle of some others that I did see so I don’t know how it’s hiding but yeah I just think it’s very hard to reproduce but I know of people in other countries and  With other carriers that have gotten this so I really don’t believe it’s carrier unless it’s specific carriers but not all.

  Hi, Debbie,  

  Finally, someone who actually experienced this!!!  At the risk of sounding quite rough, I cannot believe that the people at Apple and U.S. Cellular are totally unaware of this.  What kind of techs do they hire, anyway?  Sorry, but these technology issues can sometimes make me wonder if we have really advanced at all in that area.

  Hi Mark, I was told that this is a bug, and never heard it to be a carrier issue. I believe there are people who experience this no matter which carrier they are with. My experiences that it will show me no mail and then maybe an hour or two later it will show me that indeed there is mail. I have not yet tried but think I will try clearing phone out of the app switcher to see if that helps maybe for it to refresh. It is odd but I have kind of gotten used to it and I know not to trust it when it says there is nothing there and surely enough I will see it. it is surprising that no one knows how to reproduce it though because I have known for this to be a bug with all their number of people I don’t know maybe for a year or so. Maybe others will weigh in. 
  All best,

    Greetings everyone,  

    This is specifically for anyone using an I Phone with Useless, I mean U.S. Cellular.  Alright, I’ll try to be nice, LOL.  And I will make this as short as possible.  Has anybody experienced a situation in which you dial in your voice mailbox and get told there are no messages, even though you know someone called you and left a message?  I went to our local U.S. Cellular store this morning and the technician had never seen anything like that.  I called Apple, and they say it’s a carrier issue.  I spoke on the phone with who knows how many people at U.S. Cellular who tried all kinds of things, some of which I had already tried, but they really couldn’t help.  Obviously I am going to need to learn to use the phone app to retrieve voice mail messages, and I am working on that, but It would be nice to still have this option.  Thank you in advance for any assistance.
