When you call my phone it says the voicemail is full but it's not full. How can I fix this. I have tried a soft reboot and have cleared my deleted messages.

THE SOLUTION IS TO RESET NETWORK SETTINGS

This was happening to my wife's phone and she tried the *86 solution to manually clear her voice mail, but it didn't work. I was frustrated so looked and did some research and found that call forwarding can cause the same problem. She is not sure how call forwarding got activated, but I suspect it happened during an upgrade because this is seemingly a common problem. To make sure call forwarding is off dial *73. You will hear a couple of beeps. Then try your voicemail again. Hope this helps.

That also worked for my iPhone.  I am not sure either how call forwarding got activated, but I too recently upgraded to an iPhone XS Max.  Thank you.

I tried both the*73 trick and resetting network settings drink. Neither worked. I have trimmed down the number of voicemails saved in my phone I have deleted the deleted voicemails emptied the trash. I still have more than 50% of the storage space left on my phone so I cannot figure out why this is happening. Also my battery life is terrible but went to Verizon store and 86% battery life isn’t enough to do a warranty repair... even tho it’s a “red flag”. 

My phone was down to 16% by 1 PM yesterday and was completely dead by 3 PM yesterday following a full charge at 7 AM.

I was told to contact Tech Coach and chat does nothing I ask a question and on response.
