Visual voicemail not working

Hi there @c_brookhart.

We understand the importance of this feature, but it appears the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is not visual voicemail capable. 

Thanks for reaching out to our AT&T Community! Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

The S22 Ultra IS visual voicemail capable, just like the S21 Ultra. Visual voicemail is part of the phone software so it needs to work properly. 

The "solution" provided is not a solution and now I'm being prompted to accept the above as an answer. There's been no resolution on this issue for over six months, despite numerous reports.

The frequency at which devices are released, it's not surprising that the device list isn't updated. All the time via social media support, I receive a link to select my device to get troubleshooting tips. The S21 Ultra wasn't on the list just like the S22 Ultra isn't.

I've had to go through this process before and it doesn't always fix the problem. Again, the purpose for posting the message about this issue here is to address why it's happening across multiple devices.

Here is the the solution 👌.....go to settings>then apps then >..visual voicemail ...then >storage.. then >clear data...😁Go back into app click open & follow prompts...allow permissions.

Sorry I didn't see your post for months ago or even 3 months ago. Visual Voicemail requires a cellular connection to download the message onto your phone. 

Since you are getting a message asking you to wait for download, either you aren't connected to Cellular at the time, or the message was just left and not yet downloaded.

@formerlyknownas I can assure you that in EVERY instance of the voicemail issue I've experienced over the past 10 months, I've had a cellular connection. I've been in different places and on and off WiFi. It's an issue that started with the S21 Ultra and followed to the S22 Ultra. Every solution attempted has only been a temporary fix. Nothing has been done to implement a permanent fix.

I have a Samsung S21 Ultra 5G phone and every several weeks or so, my visual voicemail will give me an error message if I ever press the button "refresh" to refresh to see if any new voicemails have come in.  But it will say "Either non-existent mailbox, or incorrect password". Out of the blue it will say it and then I will have to call AT&T and they will reset it and several weeks later, the same thing will happen. It has happened 3 or 4 times. 

I have s20 and voicemail does not play the messages. I get the notification, i press play and it fails to continuously play the message. ITS FRUSTRATING
