How to ‘Completely’ Empty Your iPhone Voicemail Inbox
How to ‘Completely’ Empty Your iPhone Voicemail Inbox
Hi <<First Name>>,
A client of mine recently asked me, “Hey Dave, I deleted all my voicemail messages on my iPhone. How come I am still getting a notification telling me my voicemail inbox is full?”
That’s a great question about a problem you may be experiencing yourself.
Depending on your cell phone carrier and your cell phone plan, typically you can store anywhere from 20-40 voicemail messages up to 4 minutes long.
Another factor to consider is not only your cell carrier managing your voicemail box and storing your messages, your iPhone downloads and stores the messages locally (in M4A file format).
That being said, in today’s learning lesson, you’ll learn how to completely empty your voicemail inbox. Plus, I’ll share a tip on how to eliminate the “your voicemail inbox is full” even after you delete all your messages off your iPhone.
So, grab a beverage of choice, maybe a snack, your iPhone, and settle in for your newsletter learning session with Dave. 👩🏽🎓👨🏽🎓
How to completely delete voicemail messages in the Phone app
As you already know, you access your voicemail messages in the Phone app by tapping http://pedrocabiya.com/category/ensayo/ Voicemailat the bottom of your screen.
By tapping Voicemail, you’ll see a list of all your recent voicemail messages.
You have two options for deleting your messages:
- Swipe from left to right across each message and tap where can i purchase clomid Delete. Repeat for each message.
- Tap Edit in the top-right corner. Then, tap the circle next to any voicemail you would like to delete. Once you’ve selected every voicemail you would like to delete, tap Delete in the bottom-right corner. Then, tap Done in the upper-right corner.
But wait, your messages are still not completely deleted from your iPhone! Make sure you do this step…
Just like deleting email messages in the Mail app or photos in the Photos app, your voicemail messages are not completely removed from your phone when you deleted them. They are moved to an area called Deleted Messages and still stored on your iPhone.
To completely remove your voicemail messages from your iPhone, do this:
- At the bottom of your voicemail message list, tap the Deleted Messages option.
- You’ll see all the messages you have deleted.
- In the upper-right corner, tap Clear All.
- Tapping Clear All will completely remove all deleted voicemail messages from your iPhone.
Clear All Blocked Voicemails
Voicemails from blocked numbers can take up space in your inbox too. Many iPhone users don’t realize that blocked numbers can still leave messages. These types of messages won’t show up in your list of voicemails, but they can still take up space without you knowing it. 😱
To remove blocked voicemail messages:
- At the bottom of your voicemail message list, tap the Blocked Messages option.
- In the upper-right corner, tap Delete All.
I completely deleted all my voicemail messages, but I still get the ‘Voicemail Full’ notification.
If you have completely deleted all your voicemail messages off your iPhone, but still get the ‘Voicemail Full’ notification, it’s time to contact your wireless carrier for help and ask them to reset your voicemail box.
Here are the customer support numbers for the top 4 wireless carriers:
Verizon: 1-800-922-0204
AT&T: 1-800-331-0500
T-Mobile: 1-800-937-8997
Sprint: (888) 211-4727
Just let them know that your iPhone voicemail is full, even though you completely deleted all messages from your iPhone, and they’ll help you fix the problem.
