You can also head to Settings → Wi-Fi → and toggle it off. Now try using voicemail.
Going away for vacation or leaving the office unattended shouldn't stress you out. That's why OnSIP designed voicemail greeting setup to take only a handful of steps.

To activate Visual Voicemail, dial 1217 from your iPhone and a recorded message will confirm it has been switched on.

6.) Don’t miss the opportunity to leave a specific message. There’s nothing more frustrating than listening to a voicemail that basically says, “Hi, it’s me. Call when you can!” Even if you’re just calling to say hi, make that your phone message. “Hi, Barbara! It’s Maralee! I haven’t heard your voice in too long, and I wanted to touch base and say hi. I’ll give you a call tonight at 8:00 your time. I hope we can chat then. Stay warm in Michigan. I heard about the storms.”
Too many reps are the inside sales equivalent of chatty grandmas—pitching solutions, discussing features, and offering value propositions over a voicemail.
Follow that with an email that says the same thing, log the call / update your notes in your CRM and MOVE ON!
3. Enter your voicemail password, if you have one. If you don’t know what it is, try entering your phone number or contacting your carrier for assistance.
All sorts of funny issues can occur when your phone hasn’t had a reboot in a while. Rebooting allows your phone to clear out and fix any issues. So try switching it off for at least five minutes, then see if the problem is resolved.

Whatever you do, don’t call and hang up without leaving a voicemail. The contact is never going to return a call from an unknown number and, the next time you call, they’ll be even less interested in what you have to say.
If your Android phone doesn't have the Google Voice app, go to Google Play Store and search for it to install it on your device. Once installed, launch the app, and go to the "Menu" at the top left, and select "Settings." Then, go to the "Voicemail" section and tap on the "Voicemail greeting."
As you practice and score your sales voicemails, you’ll start to determine some best practices. Here are a few of mine:
Nondeliverable: Messages that could not be delivered, usually because the intended recipient's mailbox is full. You can listen to, re-address, and re-record these messages.
If you’re contacting the same people with marketing voicemails and emails, you shouldn’t repeat information verbatim. By mixing up your approach, you make it more likely to get a response to at least one method. Also, your voicemails should be more personalized than your emails. For example, you could send an email to a contact – and 500 others – asking for feedback about a specific product they recently bought.
If you find yourself wishing for your prospect not to pick up -- you might need to consider a new profession.
