The latest official stable iOS release is 16.6 

iOS 17 is only available as a beta download, which is more than likely why you are experiencing the issue that you are, as iOS 17 is not yet a stable release available to the public at large.

Tryong to switch to the US Region in an attempt to get live / visual voicemail will not achieve anything - Not only do Smarty currently not support live / visual voicemail, they are of course a UK based mobile phone company.

Live Voicemail is a new feature of iOS 17 and doesn’t require network support unlike visual voicemail JJP2. It’s not available in all regions though.

Why SteveEd_1082585 @decided to seek support from a network with regards to an issue encountered running beta software is beyond me though!

    I was hoping someone else had done the same and had a genuine solution. Not to worry - Thanks, I think.

      You'd be better off posting about it over on the MacRumors forum. They have a dedicated thread for iOS 17 beta 6.
