Hello, my dad had to get ANOTHER replacement Note 10+ device due to charging issues. Phone is all setup using Smart switch ... but now when I try to open the "Visual Voicemail" on the phone it says "Visual Voicemail is downloading please check back later. To check your voicemail right now dial *86. 

 
I went in app info and cleared app cache and app data, rebooted phone, took out aim card rebooted phone, inserted SIM card to no-avail. 
 
Is this a Samsung question or a provider issue?

Hello KdrewH, We know how frustrating it can be having to replace a phone, and even more frustrating not being able to access voicemail.

This is a provider issue, visual voicemail is offered by T-Mobile (I'm pretty sure), so you should probably go to a T-Mobile store or call them. Have you tried deleting the app and reinstalling it?

There is no delete. That's what made me think it was innate to Samsung.

Praise the Lord. Haha. Thank you so much. I had searched the forum prior to posting my question and didn't find any posts - so thank you for pointing me in the right direction. That fixed it.
