When you press the voicemail button, you will be sent directly to your voicemail, where you will be asked for your password, which is the last four digits of your phone number followed by the # key, as shown below.
You could also record a custom greeting in a visual voicemail app, if you have one installed.
But this is not necessarily the case, a spokesperson for AT&T Wireless, Tova Kline, told us. “There is no data or talk charge for changing your voicemail. However if you lose phone service, you won’t be able to update your voicemail message,” she said.
Solution 1: Disable Wi-Fi and Use Cellular Data While Changing Voicemail Greeting
At this point, we can’t be exactly sure why your iPhone won’t play voicemails. The voicemail you play in the Phone app on your iPhone is called Visual Voicemail, which downloads your voicemails from your carrier in the form of little audio files, similar to the music files you listen to inside the Music app.

I had installed WhoApp yesterday to see how I might like it, and decided to uninstall it. WhoApp uses its own VoiceMail, so when I uninstalled it and couldn't change my greeting, I was ready to blame WhoApp! Thankfully, this thread gave me the correct solution. I just deleted all of my old voicemail messages and everything works now!
However, some cellular service providers allow users to access and update their voicemail by calling their own numbers from working landlines or phones on other wireless networks, so users whose accounts include such an option and who have access to alternative service could keep the voicemail greetings updated even when their own mobile phones cannot connect to cellular or internet service.

You can change your voicemail password by calling (800)-331-0500 from your iPhone. You’ll reach AT&T’s automated customer service menu which will ask for your phone number and billing zip code. A few seconds later, the message “Password Incorrect – Enter Voicemail Password” will appear on the display of your iPhone. Enter the last seven digits of your cellphone number to change your voicemail password. I strongly recommend that you read AT&T’s support article on changing your voicemail password before attempting to do so.
One of the best and quick fix to this issue is to turn off Wi-Fi for once and switch to Cellular data connection and then try to change the default greeting to custom on iPhone.
The number you press to delete a voicemail depends on your mobile carrier. To confirm the number, access the voicemail and listen to the automated message.
2. If you don't have a Voicemail app on your phone, or you aren't sure how to find it, you can still set up your voicemail using the Phone app. Tap on the Phone app to open it.
