I am the new owner of the apple iphone and already seem to have quite a few problems. A Visual voicemail is not available. Do you know anything about this? B I can send sms' and my friends received them however I don't receive the reply... 3. Is there anyway to play tunes stored on the iphone such as as ring tones?
Pls read this solution COMPLETELY
"BEFORE" making attempt to fix the VVM.
If you have jailbreak or download a new
profile or via MobileConfigs for internet tethering, there is a good chance the
VVM will break also.
2 possibilities of faults:
1. Carrier
Call your carrier, tell them you are having
issue with the VVM (iPhone virtual voice mail), try to convince the carrier that the problem is with the provision
database, which contains your VVM profile records somehow are corrupted and
needs to be "removed" and "re-provisioned" or
"re-created". This is a quick
fix by level one support person to do within his power for the first attempt to
fix your VVM with the pre-condition that you have not mess around with
jailbreak and other hacking activities.
2. Apple
If the above carrier method fix did not
work, most likely you need to head back to the Apple store to have a Apple tech
to help you. If you go back to the carrier
store, most likely, they will tell you it is a "known" problem for
the iPhone. In any event, you have a
better chance with a face to face time with Apple then the carrier folks,
unless, you have a "real friend" in the carrier store.
Before you head to the Apple store and if
you think you are savvy enough, you should have already tried to reset the
iPhone in a number of ways:
a. iPhone --> Settings --> General
--> Network --> Reset Network Settings
b. factory reset
c. reload current firmware version
d. change and re-initiate voice mail

4. Last Resort
a.
goto your itune store on the iphone, search for "youmail" app
to download and try, it is free.
b.
exchange your iPhone with new iPhone from where you bought it from.

Go into settings - general - reset and then resetting network settings. This should restart your iPhone.
This alone didn't work, but dialling 1760 to switch off voicemail then
1750 to switch it on again. This works!

Are you using the SIM card that came with the phone or did you use one from another phone. Generally, the first 2 problems are associated with that or an SIM card that doesn't know isn't associated with iPhone. There are plans to allow you to use iTunes songs as ring tones in a future version of iTunes.

Thank you so much Helpinghand. I was using another SIM card. Once I replaced it to the iphone's SIM it worked like a charm.
Thank You.
I have a new iphone that is showing "Voicemail Unavailable" unable to initiate connection. I am using the SIM card that came with the phone and have received some voicemail but not as of the past couple of days. Any suggestions?
thanks
whenever I select the voicemail icon I get the message "unable to initiate connection". I have used the voicemail feature in the past but it does not seem to work anymore. I know messages have been left since this problem started but they are not appearing on the visual voicemail either.
I am using the SIM card that came with my iphone, so I don't think that's necessarily the solution. I'm having the same "can't initiate access to voicemail" message. I can see my messages on visual voicemail, but can't get any of them to actually play. I'd love any tips people have! Turning the phone on and off to reset doesn't seem to make any difference. The phone says to try again later, but it's been stuck like this for the past 3-4 days. I've been able to access a few messages at random points during that time when the stars were lined up just right, I guess. But other than that, it hasn't worked.
Is there a fix for this problem?
Suddenly my voicmail on my iphone doesn't work and I see the message "Voicemail Unavailable Unable to initiate connection" How can I fix this problem?
I only receive sms's randomly and I do not receive the replies to my sms's. Seems that there are certain numbers that do this but hard to really understand the problem as erratic. I have already changed my old sim for a new one 2 days ago and restored my phone an hour ago, still not working. I really do not know what to do as I rely on sms as a lot of my clients are overseas. I am in france...
