Understanding Voicemail
Before we dive into the process, let’s understand what voicemail is. Voicemail is a feature that allows you to record messages for you to listen to later. When you leave a message, your iPhone records it and saves it to your voicemail account. However, sometimes you might receive unwanted or unsolicited messages on your voicemail account, which can be frustrating.
