How to I get the voicemail message indicator to work for my iPhone 5s? I am not getting a notification when I get a voicemail.

In addition, when I open the phone app and select the Voicemail icon, it goes directly to voicemail, and requests my password.

jetty84,

We definitely want to make sure that you are receiving the proper alerts on your device and are here to help. How long has your device not been providing the notification or have you ever seen the notification on the device? Any recent changes to the device or software since this started? Also, when calling voicemail(*86) you can use this guide to ensure the notifications are enabled http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/how-to-use-voice-mail/. Click on the "voice mail instructions" link to view the map.

I just purchased this iPhone 5s from Verizon. This iPhone 5s replaced the iPhone 4s on my account, and the voicemail notification did not work on that iPhone either.  I've tried resetting the voicemail password. Still doesn't work.  When I call *86, I select 'Personal Options', and I am not given the option for 'Message waiting indicator on/off'.

jetty84,

That's definitely not the experience you should be having! When you go to the voicemail option under "call" you should be taken to set up visual voicemail. Let's make sure we solve this. When you go to set up the voicemail, is cellular data on? http://vz.to/1865XDx Can we try resetting the network settings? http://vz.to/14IQuat

The cellular data was (and is) on.  I tried resetting network settings.  Voicemail notification is still not working.

jetty84,

Thank you so much for trying those steps for us as it will help with getting some answers. Does voicemail show up in the notifications settings on your device at all?
