What is iPhone Visual Voicemail?

Visual Voicemail is a quick and easy way to listen to your messages without having to dial in. Simply scan through all of your messages, get a visual summary of who called and when, and choose which message to listen to, right on your screen.

It includes a subscription to Message Centre, an enhanced voicemail service that takes up to 25 five-minute voice messages.

Learn how to set up and use Message Centre voicemail.

Note: A data plan is required for iPhone Visual Voicemail to work. It is not available through Wi-Fi.
