FIOS voicemail on iPhone

I realize I can have my voicemail forwarded to my email and then listen to it but I'd like to be able to use the native Internet or the FIOS browser link that has the "Voicemail" icon on it. Does anyone have an idea when the "Voicemail icon" will be usable.

Thanks

- Hank

Sorry that you are having issues with the service. I have sent you a private message to get your account information.

re:" I realize I can have my voicemail forwarded to my email and then listen to it ..."

I have been totally unable to do this on my iPhone, what am I missing?

Can you please give me some details? Are you not getting an email when you have a voice mail message or are you trying to access your voice mail using a browser?

I get the email, open from my iPhone but am unable to actually listen to the voicemail. I think there was a message that I needed Flashplayer or something like that, which wasn't supported on iPhone or iPad). Its been a while, since I wasn't able to use it I quit trying. I'm assuming this is a common problem for iphone/iPad users, perhaps not? I could send myself a voicemail and recreate. Anyway, the issue is not actually getting the email, just that it isn't useful if you can't follow through and listen to the voicemail it's announcing.

I am not having any issues with my iPhone 4s and iPad 3 and voicemail messages. Verizon is sending these as .wav files.

Once they download to your device you should be able to hear them

Ok - I just forced a FiOS voicemail to myself, thenI used my iPad to go to the Verizon site to listen to voicemail. Turns out its Java software that is needed (gives link to Java, but not specific sw that is required, there's a long list). Last time I tried this I fiddled around on Java site and ended up with theunbelief that what I needed isn't supported on iOS. So yes, it's the browser part that isn't working for me, not the email notification. All in all I'm totally frustrated with FiOS other than Internet service, can't wphon until contract is up to get tv and phone off! But that's a whole other story.

Agreed . You can'e listen to a voicemail mwssage witj a browser om an IOS device

As you do, I have a list of things that should be fixed or enhanced.

(sorry folks, I started to add to this post because I was having trouble again with this now that I've switched to iPhone 5, but then I tested again with a longer message and everything worked so I thought I canceled the post)

But as long as my post bumped up this thread - I'll just add that it appears my problem with voicemail on iP5 may have been that my first voicemail message was very short. I tried again with a longer message and it worked just fine. Perhaps that's what happened to the poster just ahead of me in this thread?
