iPhone Tips

How many times have you called me and my voicemail was full?  Well, lots.  I found it super frustrating because every day I would clear my voicemail and every day it was full.  I not only cleared my voicemails I deleted them but something was ghosting me.  Being a DYI type of person I Googled, searched, YouTubed everything.  They all said the same thing. It is a flaw with iPhone 13 and updates you and you must reset your phone constantly until you can get to your carrier who has some magical thing they can do.  This is a pain!  Who has the time for this? One Saturday morning, at an indecent hour, I decided I was going to deal with Verizon and most likely with a person overseas so it really didn't matter what time I was pinging them. The solution was super simple.  Clear your voicemails, restart your phone then dial *86.  What I found was shocking I had 40 voicemails over like 3 years. I imagine that some people were truly frustrated that I had not called them back but somehow they got locked into a voicemail blackhole. Had I gone to a carrier I would have been talked into upgrading to a pretty new phone but I really don't need one right now. The end result is that the solution was super simple.  As I find myself in a 5,000 dial challenge there are countless days of voicemail is full with all types of clients, vendors and friends.  How many people don't know about this?  Hope it helps!
