What to do if my visual voicemail doesn't work?

  1. Does your plan contain Visual Messaging and Data?

    Your plan must include the Visual voicemail option, as well as data. Your phone must also be properly configured.  

     

    How to add the Visual voicemail option and/or data to my mobile plan 

    How to configure my phone for Visual voicemail 

     

  1. Restart your phone

    Reboot (power cycle) your phone by holding down the phone’s start button for 10 seconds.

     

    Following your reboot, your applications will load. Your phone will then re-authenticate to the Fizz mobile network and potentially recover its authorization to access the network.

    Make sure your APN is properly configured 

    For visual messaging to work properly, the APN of the Android device must be configured properly.

     

    How to configure the APN of your Android device

     

    Did you grant the requested authorizations?  

    During the installation of the app, authorization requests were presented to you. If you did not grant the required permissions, Visual voicemail won’t work properly. You must download the app again and go through the activation steps once more so that this time you grant permission.

     

    Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the app? 

    Completely uninstall the application from your phone and reinstall it. 

     

    Be careful not to just remove the icon from the home screen. You really need to uninstall and remove the app from your phone.
