I do not have visual voicemail.
How are those questions going to help getting my new phone to indicate I have a new voicemail message on my phone?
My curent phone is a fully unlocked Motorola MOTO G5s Plus. It is on the same Verizon plan as my last phone.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
It is important information because when you activated your current phone the system might have changed your account to think you are eligible for the visual voicemail even though your phone model isn't compatible with the Verizon Visual Voicemail feature. With the newer phones, it seems like the system wants to push you into the visual voicemail feature. I myself have experienced this push towards visual voicemail and have taken measures to prevent it every time I activate a new phone. In researching your phone model I found out the visual voicemail option was embedded into the phone dialer application like the Google Pixel models. This means your Verizon Wireless account needs to have the visual voicemail feature removed and for you to toggle on the visual voicemail option in the phone dialer application in order for the phone to recognize a new voicemail using the visual voicemail option. If you want to use the basic non-visual voicemail system, you also need to remove the visual voicemail feature from your line in order to get the notification symbol of a new voicemail in the notification bar at the top of the phone screen. See the link below for how to activate the visual voicemail option in the phone dialer application.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
