Waste of time. Samung remotely accessed my phone. Nothing will fix this. Lost cause with Samsung devices.

I have the same problem. Got a Samsung Galaxy S23+ a little over 3 months ago. Visual Voicemail has had issues from day one. It will work for a few days then stop connecting to the serice. When trying to open the app it times out saying "Something went wrong. We ran into a problem. Try again later. If there's still a problem, contact Customer Serivce"

To date I have spent countless hours on with support. Everytime I call they make me to all the same stupid things over and over - clear cache, delete data, force stop, reboot, turn off wifi, reset settings, etc.

THEY EVEN SENT ME A NEW S23+ which of course regardless of how much transfers over, it still takes a whole day to set up everything like you want it.

And surprize - Visual Voicemail still does not work. At least on the last phone it was sporadic. This new phone it has not worked for 1 minute.

Same thing here! I've had a pixel 6 pro and pixel 3 xl for the last 5 years both worked my last Samsung then it worked. Samsung S23 unltra,I've had it for 3 days doesn't work. I get an error message when trying to setup. I removed the feature and readded it on my account, uninstalled app and reinstalled and factory reset...still nothing. By the look of it in the community comments and online boards it's mox of Samsung voicemail app fault and Verizon voicemail platform not meshing together. This is 2023, this should be addressed right away. But knowing Verizon, they will blame on manufacturer, and won't do anything.

I have the same issue with my S23. Visual voicemail has never worked and everytime I open it the initial set up screen opens.

Just upgraded yesterday from S20 to S23. Same problem with Voice Mail on S23.

Was with Verizon support for 1.5 hours last night with no solution found.

Went to Verizon store this morning and they very quickly told me it is a known problem. Too bad Verizon Technical Support is unaware of this. Otherwise a waste of time for both me and Verizon.

Is there anyway to track progress on this known problem?

Hi Maria, I recently received had to get a replacement S23 (Verizon device protection plan)after the charging port stopped working on my nearly new original S23. The new S23 also will not load visual voice-mail. I do receive voice-mail and notifications but I need to call and go through the prompts. Is there any kind of fix for this?

I FIGURED IT OUT PEOPLE!!!!!! when you get the "error" (you have a new voicemail but it's being stupid and won't just show you) GO TURN OFF SAFE BROWSING IN DIGITAL SECURE!!!! I ha e no clue why it works; but 2/2 now it's fixed the issue. Might not work for everyone but if there's a chance it'll help someone else it's worth mentioning.

I found out that the Visual Voicemail feature does not work if you have and/or purchased what is called a "Universal Phone"! That is a generic phone from the manufacturer that does not have all the pre-installed Verizon features on it. You must have a phone with pre-installed Verizon features in order for the Visual Voicemail and/or other Verizon Apps. It took me three days and 20hrs and a bundle of persistence with the help of the Verizon Executive Relations team to figure it out. I hope that helps!

I got my S23 plus about six months ago. I have to check the date. I hadn't noticed my visual voicemail wasn't working until I started noticing my voicemail wasn't working at all. People told me they were leaving messages, but I wasn't getting any notification. Then I discovered the visual voicemail app was missing. I couldn't find a download for it and went into Chat with Version. What a waste of time. That rep told me to download any other visual voicemail. I said, "what for? I pay for Verizon's every month and I expect Verizon, not some third party that has no business being on my phone or having access to my calls." It was a waste of at least 30 minutes. I left the call mad and telling them I want my money back for the last several months. THEN, weeks later, yesterday (Jan 20), I was told again that someone left a voicemail on Jan 5. No voicemail. No Visual Voicemail. I have a hearing disability. NOT just hearing aids, but wire prosthetics in both my ears. Sometimes voicemail doesn't work well because it isn't loud enough and visual works better, so I called again to Verizon and asked for a tech. I was on the phone for more than 30 minutes with him remoting in, looking around, not finding a way to turn it on. He left, thinking it would work after a refresh. I couldn't stay on because I was headed to a funeral. Bottom line. Doesn't work. Why doesn't Verizon know this is a problem specifically with S23? Seems they aren't passing it on to their tier support. I'm mad. I need it and if I have to get a new phone... that I don't want to do... I might. Samsung screwed up. Verizon screws up.

I have had the same issue with Visual Voicemail and plain voicemail working on my S23 Ultra. The issues appears to be if you have a Universal Phone instead of a Verizon issued phone. Mine is a Universal and I have been on a number of times with support and ran through all the things the support tells you to do several times....reset cache, reload visual voicemail, etc. And nothing works. Supposedly they elevated it to a higher level engineering group, but I have never heard anything back. I spend over $400 per month on Verizon, but now I think I can justify switching.

Verizon_Support

We definitely understand the importance of having access to your voicemail in the way that's convenient for you, and we will be glad to help. We sent a Private Message to further assist you. ~Geo

Verizon_Support

sinewave88, we understand the importance of being able to use your device as anticipated. There are some features that are not compatible with unlocked or universal devices. We would be glad to understand further. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

If your using a VPN setup split tunneling in the VPN settings to allow the voicemail app to go through.

This worked for me

My visual voicemail and voicemail not working on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Tech said it was not synched so he did that and it is still not working. I was on with techs two days in a row and the last one had me turn off the phone (like I hadn't tried that a least a dozen times) and he called me back on my husbands number so that he could check to see if the trouble shooting he ran would uncover anything. He was going to call my number while I was on my husband's line and I was going to let it go to voicemail to see if it worked but he decided to give it 24 hours and call me back the next day (YEAH RIGHT!). As soon as he hung up I called my number and left a test message and nothing came through not voicemail or visual voicemail. This has been an ongoing issue now for about 6 months. I am sick of buying for visual voicemail and not having it or even being able to get my voicemail.

THANK YOU!!!!

I turned off my "safe browsing " and I got my visual voicemail to work again!

I've had the same issue on my S23 for the last few weeks. Before this week, force stopping the app and then restarting my phone worked. Now, even that doesn't work. I get the same "Something went wrong...." error message. New Voicemail doesn't appear in the app. Refreshing the app doesn't work. Force stop of the app doesn't work. Restarting phone doesn't work. Any combination of these doesn't work. App is up-to-date as far as I can tell.

Resolution assistance would be appreciated.

Verizon_Support

I know I rely on my voicemails for important messages, eastcoasttraveler. I also use it to screen unknown calls, which is also important. I appreciate all the self troubleshooting you've done to help get it back working, and it sounds like we will have to take a look at the account here to help. Please be on the lookout for a private message so we can better assist.

Looks like a fix is still not done on Verizon's end. I'm still having the same issue. Apparently they don't care enough about their customers.

Verizon_Support

We're sorry to read that you're having issues with your voicemail Athena24. When did you start having this issue? Is this only happening with your visual voicemail?

Massoul

I have the same exact problem on my S23 Ultra. Spent over an hour with tech support and month ago. It worked for less than a day and stopped actively retrieving messages into the voicemail app. I can get them to load if I go into settings/apps/voicemail/ clear data. Then restart the phone. It will then download all messages but without text transcription. But, I have to do this every time! This is ridiculous!!!

Verizon_Support

Massoul, I'm so sorry to see that you're experiencing this ongoing issue and we would love to dive a bit further to better understand what the issue could be. I'll be sending you a private message shortly.
