problems setting up voice mail

Since activating my Verizon iPhone 5 I've tried repeatedly to setup voice mail but each time after entering and confirming a password the process hangs showing a spinning icon and the message 'saving password.' The hanging continues without timing out. This occurs whether I choose default or custom (recorded message), following a variety of passwords and over both cellular and wi-fi networks over 3 consecutive days. Anyone else experiencing this issue and/or have any suggestions? Thanks.

I have been getting the same issue since last week. Have you found out anything?

Thanks

interesting and no, still no suggestions and have yet to find others discussing the issue more widely...

Had the same problem - until I turned on Cellular Data. I had been trying to make it work over WiFi - but apparently that doesn't cut it.

Thanks HangGlider - I'm currently residing on an island where I cannot get cellular data so it will be next week before I can try that fix but fingers crossed it will work then. Still not happy it will not work via wi-fi though.

I fixed my issue with the voicemail. I had started putting together that I couldn't connect to the email outside my wifi area around the same time I had issues with the voicemail. HangGlider's response encouraged me in thinking they were related.

My cellular data was turned on already, but I restarted my phone and whatever bug worked itself out. I have now updated my custom voicemail greeting.

Solutist, hope you find your answer soon.

Thanks - appreciate that additional info and will report back when I have a chance to try this.

I just had this issue and I fixed it in no time by dialing *86, it prompts you to setup your voicemail. Quick and easy.
