Voicemail unavailable could not authorize access

I set up voicemail, complete with PIN and outgoing message, and now it won’t let me in. I have one vm in que, and it is asking me to setup my voicemail. It then gives me the error message above. This is a brand new IPhone XR

Hello @IHateApples,

 

We're here to help! We recommend resetting your voicemail password before we proceed with troubleshooting. You can complete the process online from your myAT&T account rather than from your device since you are currently experiencing issues with accessing your voicemail. Just go to My wireless, select a device, and select Manage device & features. Then, select Reset voicemail password.

 

Let us know if you have any further questions!

I called customer service and my issue was resolved.

1.  Press Phone - on the home page

2.  Press Voicemail- on the Right lower corner

3.  Press the number "1" and hold for a few secs.

4.  You will hear an instructions and provide your new 8digits PIN.

Hope this helps.
