VOICEMAIL issue: after changing my phone number - iphone 11

[Rosey12099]

I have been with Verizon almost a year now; I decided to recently change to a new phone number (staying with Verizon / same phone - iphone 11) - now several issues with voicemail...
1) no one can leave me a voicemail on my new number (same old phone) without entering in my old phone number (old phone number no longer works)
2) every time I call my voicemail on the new number, I get asked to enter the old number "mailbox number"

You probably need to reset your voicemail and set it up again for the new number.

thanks Ann
- is that an apple thing(??), or
- is that a Verizon thing(??)

The voicemail on the iPhone is through the Apple servers, but there is some connection to the Verizon voicemail system. How it works exactly, I don't know.

I have the same exact problem. I’ve been trying to resolve for a long time. I even went into the local Verizon store, they didn’t have a clue as to how to resolve the issue. Can I please get help as well?
