How can I turn on voicemail notification in iPhone xr
gauchoscl77,
Getting notifications for your voicemail in the iPhone XR is fundamental, and you've come to the right place for help! Let's get you set up for success. To make sure I am on the same page and we are going down the proper path for a solution, I have a few questions for you. Have you already gone through the setup of the iPhone's voicemail (shown here: http://spr.ly/6605Ea7TF)? If this is just for your voicemail notification, how are your other notifications (ringtone, text, etc.) working for you? Or, are you referring to the red indicator that typically pops up on the green phone icon?
We look forward to getting a solution in place for you.

I transfer my voicemail so I don’t go through the setup steps. Yes, everything is working fine except no voicemail notification red to let me know there are voicemails. I miss a bunch of important messages and my voicemail box is full. Thanks for the help.
This information is helpful, gauchoscl77. Please try clearing out your Voicemail Box if you have not done this already. CecileC_VZW

Perform the notification steps. Still no voicemail notification. Thank you for the help.
Thanks for trying that out, gauchoscl77. To clarify the issue you are experiencing, what happens when people try to leave you a Voicemail? By chance, are they getting an error message that your Voicemail is full?

When somebody leaves a message I don’t know that it is there because of no notifications. A friend had to email me to let me know that my voicemail is full. That when I know the voicemail notification does not work. Thank you for helping.

I have iPhone 7 that I use for medical practice. Frequently my mailbox is full but I am not notified so patients cannot leave messages for me and I don't know they are trying. Is there a way to be notified when the mailbox is full?
There is currently no way to send a notification when your Voicemail is full. I know how important they are, especially in your line of work. You do not have to call in to check your messages, so I would recommend checking the Visual Voicemail, and you'll see the number of messages. You can also change the alert sound, when a new message comes in. Click here for those steps: http://spr.ly/6606HwtTy.
