KAlden47, congratulations on your iPhone 8. Voicemail is an integral feature, and you've come to the right place for assistance with set up. To confirm, have you dialed *86 to access the voicemail on your iPhone 8? To clarify, your voicemails are stored on our network, and not the physical phone itself. This means that you will retain your voicemails, even when switching devices. Please let us know if accessing your voicemail with *86 helps to resolve your voicemail issues.

Accessing my voicemail is not the issue.

I don’t get any incoming calls- the phone doesn’t ring- they

go straight to voicemail which then says

my mailbox is full. When I call my voicemail it says

I have no messages. Very frustrating!

Have you verified you aren't forwarding your calls to voicemail? Call Forwarding FAQs | Verizon Wireless

We're stepping in to ease your frustration. Are you missing calls in a certain area or everywhere that you go? Which make/model phone do you have? 
 
When checking your voice mail, are you deleting all unwanted messages? We also recommend that you press the (*) key at the end of each session. This resets your voice mail indicator so that it doesn't provide you with a false notification. For more information regarding your voice mail feature, click the link below:

I went to the local Verizon store yesterday and

they figured out what was wrong.
