Voicemail after ios17

[SteveEd_1082585]

Updated to ios17 on iPhone, mostly seems to work fine but… my voicemail icon now shows 3 voicemails, can’t access by clicking on the ‘3’ icon and just have a message as below. Is there a carrier update that can be supplied? I know Live voicemail is not currently available in UK and have tried switching to US region, where it does show but still get the 3 voicemails icon and call your service provider for assistance message, so my phone is back in UK region.

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.

Thanks, I understand it’s a beta download. Live voicemail does appear if you switch to US region, so I switched it off. But the 3 count for voicemails still remain. I’ll try and downgrade back to 16.6. I was hoping someone else had done the same and had a genuine solution. Not to worry - Thanks for your response.
