are voicemail messages saved when changing to a new phone

[SLOCAL]

I'm considering upgrading my Apple 5S to an Apple 6S plus. Will my voicemail messages be saved when I transfer them to the new phone?

Thanks!

Voicemails follow the number. If you activate a new phone, the new phone will pick up on these voicemails since they are stored on Verizon's servers. Only voicemails you have saved on the phone itself, as audio files, will not do this. These would nee to be restored through an iCloud or iTunes Backup and Restore.

Great question, SLOCAL. I know how important it is to keep your messages. Just to verify, do yo have our Visual Voicemail service on your phone? This will allow you to Save a Copy or Archive any messages that are needed. http://vz.to/1CTVAjc
