Visual Voicemail / Phone App Frozen

It seems to have happened after I updated the carrier settings on my iphone 5s.  Initially the phone would freeze when I clicked on the "voicemail" icon in the Phone app,  I tried resetting the network settings, performing a reboot; I even reset my phone to factory settings and then restored it from an iTunes backup.  Now the Phone app is completely frozen.  If I touch it, I get a blank white screen, it freezes, and then closes.  I can't access my keypad to dial out, can't see my recent calls, and can't clear the missed calls indicated on the Phone app icon.  I have to use Siri to dial outgoing numbers not stored in my contacts.  Apple says it is a Verizon problem because Visual Voicemail is a carrier feature.  Please help as this is very frustrating.

I wound up calling support about this issue, was elevated to Tier 2 support, but they couldn't fix the problem.  Getting a new phone in the future.

My apologies for the trouble you're experiencing with your visual voicemail. How long ago did you update the carrier settings on your iPhone? What's the impacted zip code? Are you experiencing any other issues with your service at all?
