How to Fix iPhone Voicemail Full Problem?

The voicemails are stored on your device’s carrier which is then downloaded and stored in your iPhone’s storage. Due to this, deleting voicemails from your phone’s storage is not going to fix the issue as you need to clear the junk from your device’s carrier.
Mobile carriers don’t provide huge storing space for voicemails, therefore, deleting them timely is the only solution to get rid of the issue in the future. Once the voicemail storage of your device’s carrier is full, you won’t be able to receive new voicemails. Let us see how to delete voicemails from the carrier’s side.
- Make sure your iPhone is on the latest iOS version or at least iOS version 12, otherwise consider updating your device’s operating system first.

- For Verizon users, dial *86 to connect to your voicemail box and do not enter your pin, cut the call. Your voice mailbox will be cleared and the issue will be resolved.
- For AT&T and T-Mobile users, make sure you hold 1 on your keypad so that the automated server asks you for your pin. Again, you don’t have to enter the pin and hung up the call.
- For Sprint customers, dial *86 and press * during the voicemail greeting, cut the call, and chill.
