Visual Voicemail – iPhone

December 14, 2022

Visual voicemail stores voicemail messages in audio files and allows you to playback messages from a visual interface on your iPhone.

Overview

Visual voicemail allows you to view and listen to your voicemail messages without the need to dial into GCI’s voicemail system. Visual voicemail requires a data connection, however, data does not count against iPhone customers data allowance. Visual voicemail with the iPhone does require a cellular connection; users must turn off their Wi-Fi connection. Visual voicemail will not work via the Wi-Fi on iPhones.
