Think of the time when I was a child. To get in touch with his friends, he had to call his home phone and, if they weren’t there, leave a message. The voice messages were universal, and we didn’t think twice before leaving them.
We are so used to listening Do you have a new iPhone? Have you set up your voicemail feature?
If you have already had an Apple iPhone (or any other Apple smartphone), it is very likely that you have already recorded a voicemail message. If you are simply starting with your first smartphone, or if you have changed providers, then you must record a new voicemail message.
All the amazing things that our Apple phones can do that we sometimes forget is also a phone. Although it is not as usual as messaging, people still call each other and even leave voice messages sometimes. It is a convenient feature considering that your recipient will listen to your message and respond immediately. In addition, it allows you to view all your voicemails without first calling a number. You can manage, delete and play your voicemails, but first, you need to know how to configure voicemail on an iPhone.
In this article, I will tell you how to set up a voicemail for the first time using the Visual Voicemail screen of your iPhone within the Phone application. Read on to learn all about how to set up voicemail from scratch on your new iPhone.
Mention below, the steps help you set up and use the voicemail service on your iPhone.

Before you can use your iPhone’s voice messaging service, you will have to create an iPhone password. The voicemail service provided by your provider would already be stored on your iPhone.

- First, touch Voicemail in the lower right corner of the screen.
- Touch Set now.
- Enter a password (the password must be four to six digits).

If you simply changed operators or this is perhaps your first operator, you may need to configure basic voicemail directly with them. This is the best option if you still feel comfortable with your phone and need to use traditional voicemail until it is time to set up the visual voicemail application.
Most of these setup procedures need to dial the correct number and set up your voicemail by phone, but they all differ in small ways. Your iPhone’s voicemail messaging service is already set up and you won’t need to use the password again unless there is a problem.
