Do SIM cards interfere with visual voicemail?

I can’t get the visual voicemail set up on my mom’s new-to-her iPhone 8plus. I bought it refurbished from Gazelle. My kids put her old SIM card from an Android phone. Is that the problem.

How to enable Visual Voicemail on brand new phone after transfer? Hello I have a dilemma. I recently purchased an iphone 13 from iphone 6 and swapped out the sim card. Voicemail was not enabled on my phone/sim card so I enabled it which was a whole ordeal in itself. And sent a couple of test voicemails. Which I was able to play but the visual voicemail feature does not seem to be there. I then follow the dozens of other articles people have with similar issues. From reset network settings to clock settings to siri settings. None seemed to allow me to see visual voicemails. I tried contacting cricket wireless support twice now and they were wholly unsuccessful in getting my issue resolved.And the representative at the store couldn’t help. It also doesn’t help matters that the feature is baked in so I have no clear confirmation about the issue other than to soft-test it. Please someone tell me how to enable visual voicemail without needing to go through all of these functions I did already or through the carrier stuff since they were of no help other than saying it is enabled on our end. And how to properly the voicemail to text function since it being baked in means that I have no way of verifying if it actually works other than playing an old voicemail that lasts for 5 seconds.

no visual voicemail? I currently have an iphone 6. For at least two years, the visual voicemail function was so delayed in reporting that I eventually had to call and delete messages by phone. At some point in october, my aunt said my voicemail box was full, but, I never got anything in my visual voicemail... Again, I had to go delete them through a phone call. Now that Apple just issued 12.4.9, I'm wondering if visual voicemail issues would be resolved? Someone on Facebook said that I might need a new sim card. Is that a possibility? I'm on T-mobile Thanks

Visual Voicemail I have an iPhone13 Pro Max - IOS is current, but visual voicemail not working. My husband and I both got new phones at the same time, and his works perfectly - so it's not our carrier. I have tried everything I can find to try online, but nothing works. Any ideas?

Voice Mail or Visual Voice Mail is carrier specific feature. Contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider) The agency who issued the SIM to you
