Xfinity Mobile "Voicemail not available"

Purchased a new Samsung Galaxy Ultra 24 from Samsung, came early, changed the sim card to the new phone from the Samsung S23 Ultra.  setup the phone, items seemed to work correctly.  All Voicemail stopped, called Xfinity spent an hour on the phone, he got it working for about a day or so, stopped working again, more tech support time on the phone for 1.5 hours, couldn't get it to work, said they are working on it and should be done in 48-72 hours, nothing at this time after 48 hours.  I need to get the voicemail, the Xfinity web account called the S24 Ultra a Moto E5, others have reported the same thing, this is an unlocked, brand new from Samsung S24 Ultra, this is real mess, I need to have the voicemail option back and working again.  Both phones were running Android 14.0, the S24 Ultra was running the new 6.1 UI though instead of 6.0, that could be the issue??

It took me 3 1.5 hour sessions & about 2 weeks before the issue was fixed by Xfinity, it was the network, they were working with Verizon to fix the network issue & it was finally fixed & now my voicemail finally works again.

@XfinityRay​ You say to click on the "Direct message icon" at the top right on the page. What icon? I don't see it. My voicemail hasn't worked for over a month on my S52 5g and my wife's voicemail hasn't worked for even longer on her Note10.

@user_0jgphk Depending on o the type of device you're using it can vary where that icon is located. Do you see a paper and pencil icon anywhere on your screen?

What worked for my wife and I was changing the following settings:

  • Settings -> Apps -> Voicemail
  • Scroll down to Battery
  • Turn on Unrestricted
    • Ours was optimized before.

After doing so we were able to get access to voicemails as soon as they came in again.

@user_5fd4vj​ 

Thanks after doing so I found out that it's already set to unrestricted so that's not the issue it's something else Thanks for trying though

I have a 24+ and my voicemail isn't working. Also, I used my phone today as a mobile hot spot for my computer and it showed up on my computer as my old S21, not my new 24+. I am wondering if this is related.

Same problem as above, voicemail not working. Have 2 phones both exactly the same and the voicemail works on one but not the other. Spoke to a young lady in the xfinity store and she stated it was the phone and not xfinity, but that can't be true. Would appreciate any feedback or support to get this fixed.

Hey there, user_dpeuyf! Our team would be happy to help further with the voicemail. What is the model of the device that the voicemail will not work on? What troubleshooting steps have you tried such as restarting your device?

@XfinityRay​ Samsung galaxy S24 Ultra. We have cleared the data and cache of the voicemail app. We have reset the network settings multiple times. Have checked for updates on voicemail and phone itself. The phone has been rebooted probably 100 times since setup. Any help is appreciated.

@XfinityAntoine​ I took both phones into our local xfinity store and the young lady played with the phone for a few minutes then said, "I don't know bro, I think it's your phone". She also recommended "searching Google" which I had already done. After reading above, it's pretty clear the problem is in xfinity's system. In my account it still shows note 20 as my phone. Thoughts?

Update for anyone with the same problem. Called the number above and spent 2 hours on the phone with a very kind representative. She had to chat with the advanced team pretty often and they ended up just removing the phone from the system and putting it in manually. After a couple hours, everything works perfectly. It's terrible xfinity's system hasn't been updated yet to just fix this automatically, but it is what it is I guess.

Having the same issue with 2 S24 Ultras we purchased direct from Samsung when they first came out. We're using the sim cards from our previous Note 10+ phones since Xfinity says our phones are not compatible. Calls work fine, but we've never been able to get voicemail working.

user_kda5g7 Thank you so much for letting us know about your Voicemail. There is an app for Xfinity mobile customers to access their Voicemail. It does come pre-installed. If you can not locate the app you can check out the Play Store to download the app.
