Voicemail service not available

Phone:  HTC A9

 

When accessing voicemail I get the "Service Not Available" message.  It has been this way for the last 5 days ...

This is the first time this has happened in the last 4 years.

 

Thank you ...

I think ALL customers who have not had service should be compensated in a big way.  This is beyond ridiculous.  If everyone affected refused to pay 40% of their bill because of this, AT&T might take notice.

While voice mail system is down, can voice mail message be changed or voice mail turned off to prevent messages from being left that I can’t hear?

Have had the same problem for the past 2 weeks. It was fixed for a few days after my first conversation with a tech, but has been out for the past 6 days. For a company as sophisticated as AT&T, a prolonged outage w/out explanation or repair time line makes no sense.  Am suspecting they are dealing with sabotage of part of their networks on such a massive scale that they don't think it would be good to disclose (particularly when it deals with the compromise of sensitive customer info like voicemail.)  The system is still handling voice calls and internet traffic on a minute by minute scale that few of us could imagine (in terms of the volume of data being successfully routed to hundreds of millions of devices WORLDWIDE.)  Simple voice mail retrieval would appear to be one of the less sophisticated parts of their system. And while it's fun to bash AT*T as being incompetent, greedy, conniving and incredibly unresponsive as well as irritating (on their better days), they aren't as big as they are because they're stupid. Something's up.

Interestingly enough, my voicemail and my wife's is working this morning.
Let's see how long.

I spent 2 hours trying to troubleshoot this issue.  ATT has no problem contacting you immediately by text or email to let you know that a payment is due but to not reach out to all of your customers in Charlotte NC in the same fashion is horrible customer service and irresponsible.  Not to mention our sales person  for wireless lied to us, conned is out of $400 among other things.

HOLY CRAP it's working.  Only took them weeks to fix.

My voicemail is working this morning. I'm in the (252) area of North Carolina. I've had to service for over three weeks. AT&T customer service and tech support are the worst. [Per Guidelines:  Keep it Relevant and Appropriate].I actually wouldn't have minded the voicemail outage that much if AT&T would have informed us of what was going on and how it was being fixed.

Exactly, just be honest and let me know what I'm up against. The constant lies made weeks seem like months. 

 

I'll continue to use youmail a few more days until I'm sure service is permanently restored. I've uninstalled a few times only to find out my VM is broken again
