Hi All,
Are you all seeing Visual Voicemail on Three
I updated to IOS 18 on iphone - and could not believe my eyes - when a VM arrived - using visual voicemail
FINALLY - very happy ( and I thought it a fluke - and tested on another sim & same …..
Nice to see THREE bring this feature

Hi All,
Seems I was too quick to praise Three here - and so not quite !
Unlike all other providers ( EE, Vodafone & O2 ) - Visual Voicemail syncs the device to the provider ( meaning what is on device is also providers systems )
Three have been lazy! And done nothing …. ( so we have a sort of hybrid VM )
Therefore, what we have with Three - is ‘on device’ Visual Voicemail only !
( so, with a connection phone connection the VM works & if call not answered - the VM is stored on the device.) - this separate greeting managed on device etc
And This can work fine but !
If device is off or no coverage ( or say, lost) - any VMs received will only be on device - ( and do not appear or available via Three VM - ouch!) )
Which means you could have some VMs on device & some on Three VM dialup = bit of a mess!
This now explains why THREE are not shouting about this…..
So, another sad day - but I guess where Three let us all down - Apple tried to part fix/ give us a good VM
Is just confusing & Three need to now add Visual Vocimail server side !
Happy Days
