Voicemail not working - The Mailbox Number You're Trying to Reach is Not in Service

Recently transferred to Xfinity Mobile and got the Pixel 6. One huge problem..the voicemail does not work. Anyone who calls receives the The Mailbox Number You're Trying to Reach is Not in Service - Good Bye message and it hangs up.  I've set up a VM pin through the google phone app, but dialing *86 or holding the 1 button gets me to that same message about the number not in service.  I've seen others posting with the same issue, but no solution.  Anyone know how to fix this?

I found another thread from last year stating the same. There were 6 comments and no one had gotten it fixed. The most recent comment was 4 months ago. I am having the same issue.

I am having this exact same issue.. so is my wife. We spent time on chat, as well as on the phone.. we even went into the store where we switched to Xfinity mobile... It's been a week now and so far no one has been able to help us.. I think I'm going to have to start over with a different service.. the phone and texting is great, but I can't have people calling our phones and the voicemail saying this line it's not in service.. and no one has a solution

My wife has been battling with Xfinity over this voice mail.  Has been going on for three weeks now.   Went to Xfinity store.   They informed us they no about it.  They blame Apple ,Apple blames Xfinity.   Unfortunately no one has a fix.  Looking for another cell service and would recommend you all do the same.

Still no solution here.  2022 and Xfinity Mobile can't figure out why we can't have our voicemail setup correctly.

We switched over a month ago and have spent hours trying to get our voice-mail set up. I'm beyond frustrated and an considering switching our 5 lines back to Verizon. Who is the worst but at least we have voice-mail.

@user_6fd50c​ I am considering the same. So much frustration. As of now, no one can fix it. Spending lots of time on hold.

ME TOO!!!  I’ve spent hours on the phone the last 5 days. It gets elevated to advanced team and they swear they will call back. Never do. I’ve tried everything I can and no solution.

The one thing different about my situation is that it worked fine until a week or so ago. Now it just keeps asking for a mailbox number.

I see no resolution in sight other than dropping xfinity and going to another carrier.

I have called over a dozen times, talked to many different people.. they can't solve it, advanced tier people can't solve it. I just paid off my phone and got it unlocked so I can change service providers.

I have never received such terrible customer service in my life.

In a last ditch effort I went to the xfinity store. Nobody there was able to help. Gave me a different phone number to call but they could help either. Just said everything looks OK in their system. 

I am out of options. If I want voicemail I will have to switch to another carrier.

Couldn't take not having a voicemail so I paid off my phone so that I can transfer service to another provider..submitted an unlock request for my phone..[Edited: "Inflammatory"] deactivated my number.  Unreal.  I hope people see this thread and go elsewhere, Xfinity Mobile is the worst.

From what I can find, Xfinity has no reliable fix for this.  You can, however, work around it.  The Voxist app from the Play Store (or voxist.com) works as a voicemail replacement.  It uses the call forwarding feature to redirect declined or missed calls to Voxist.  For Xfinity you use Verizon as the provider and select monthly plan to get the correct forwarding code.  I just did this to fix my Mother's voicemail issue with her new Xfinity phone.  Visual voicemail is limited to 10 transcriptions per month for free but audio has no limit. Notifications work correctly and it provides an additional notification via email.

Does anyone know the cause of this issue?  When we got the new phone I did a test voicemail latter that day to show her how to listen to them and it worked.  All I remember doing between when voicemail worked and when it stopped is I pulled the sim out to add a sd card and the phone was off when I did it.  I did read where a possible fix is to have the sim card replaced.  Is removing and reinserting the sim a possible cause?

@user_c61993​ I am having the same problem with my voicemail through Xfinity. I spoke with numerous people at Xfinity Mobile who were courteous, but didn't have a clue. When I saw your workaround with Voxist, I tried it and it works. I'm done trying to fix the Xfinity problem. Thanks so much.

Sounds like a lot of trouble to go through for something xfinity should just fix. SMH

Oooh, interesting. I do think it was removing the sim card that caused this issue in my phone.  Someone just told me my voicemail isn't working, and now that you say that I realize I removed my sim card a week or two back. 

Anyhow, I used the text chat feature and they fixed it for me in about 5 minutes.

I went to the Xfinity store near me. They did get it fixed. Unfortunately the fix was only temporary back in the same boat. Xfinity is a joke. Big mistake. Fortunately I am not under a contract as soon as my new phone comes in it's goodbye Xfinity mobile. I've spent hours on the phone with technical support they couldn't help me. If anybody tries to reach me and I can't get to the phone in time they're told my phone number is not in service.

Even having a problem with their voice over internet. You can't call out sometimes and people can't call in. Goes right to voicemail and again says the phone number is not in service. . Periodically the television comes up with a message about not being connected. I've recently spoke to the executive customer service in virginia. They told me that sometimes there's little glitches. I told them if you can't provide reliable service don't offer it. Warn everybody not to switch to Xfinity for anything.

Also having trouble with the voice over internet and television service. There was a three or more hour period where I couldn't call out and nobody could call in.. periodically the television goes out and it says it's lost the connection. Spoke to somebody at executive level customer service. The response to me was, sometimes there's glitches. I told him I haven't even had the service a month and I've had nothing but problems and issues. I told them, if you can't provide dependable service then don't provide anything. I have responded to surveys asking if I would refer people to Xfinity...BIG NO. I have relayed ALL THE ISSUES I have had. I never hear anything back. Warn everybody... DO NOT SWITCH TO XFINITY FOR ANYTHING!

P.S. XFINITY... DON'T RESPOND THAT YOUR SORRY ECT... DON'T POST NUMBERS FOR PEOPLE TO CALL...JUST FIX YOUR ISSUES!

I have mine fixed also. After stopped by store and the staff have no clues what’s going on and refused to help. 

But luckily, I decided to call in another time and address that I have tried reset network settings and vmb password but still not working. She forwarded me to some advanced tech guy and looked into the issue. 

The problem was when you switch from ios to android or the other way around, you have to call in and reset the voicemail box settings. I guess carrier needs to bind different settings to visualize the voicemail box. Unfortunately 99% of xfinity mobile staffs are not that well-trained to understand the cause of this issue.
