My phone stopped showing messages in the visual voicemail app. I have to dial *86 to get my messages now. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6.
How do you fix the visual voicemail? I have turned it off and cleared the cache. No help.
How do I uninstall the app and reinstall? There seems to be no option for that simple function.
Really frustrating.
JBR2014, I can definitely understand how frustrating it was to discover the Visual Voicemail feature stopped working properly. It's my goal to make sure we get this feature working again, so you don't have to go through the hassle of dialing *86 and also have a more convenient way to retrieve your Voicemails from friends and family or anyone who's trying to reach you with an important message. When did you notice this started happening? Has your device gone through a recent software update? Have you checked the Google Play store, to see if the application needs an update? Due to the app being reinstalled, there is no way to delete it. Here is a link you can use that will walk you through the process of resetting the application Samsung Galaxy S 6 / S 6 edge - Reset App | Verizon Wireless. Keep me updated with your results.

I know that using the Visual Voicemail application is your go to and convenient option. This won't be frustrating to resolve if we work together. Did this become an issue after any recent software update or by making any changes to your settings?

I'll be glad to help going forward and clear up a few details. Please note your mobile data must be enabled for Visual Voicemail to work by design.
