I have been having trouble for the last couple of weeks or so getting my Voicemail in a timely fashion. Sometimes I get a VM right away, I hear it beep in. Other times it is HOURS between a client leaving a message and it showing up as a new VM.
I am on Verizon here in Northern California, and am very happy with the service. I called Tech support, 611 and explained my concern. I also said that my daughter who lives a couple of hours away (different set of towers etc) told me she has been having the same trouble.
The very helpful tech checked my phone and told me that they recommend updating the software (tower addresses etc) ONCE A MONTH! Who knew, at least not me...
So very simply hit * (star) 228, and as soon as the voice prompts start, simply hit the number 1 (one). This will update your phone to all the latest and greatest. We will soon see if this corrects my problem, I suspect it will.
Bottom line, no matter your carrier, check on how to update your software using a similar method and make it a recurring first of the month calendar event. None of us can afford to be without voicemail for hours or perhaps have other unknown issues but for a simple push of a button.
