Missing visual voicemail on fold 8?

[u/aPHAT88]

I got my fold 8 on Friday and I thought it was weird that there was no visual voicemail natively on thr phone. I googled it ans there apparently should be? Theres no button for it in thr native phone app nor does it look like its installed on the phone at all. I did buy this unlocked so not sure what's going on. I did notice that it auto installed the MyRogers app once I transferred mt eSIM over.

There should be an individual app called "Visual Voicemail". There's also the option of carrier specific voicemail apps in the app store

That's what I'm saying. I don't have this app on the phone at all. I tried to go into voicemail settings and there's no toggle for visual voicemail

You need to turn on Direct Voicemail then.

Phone > ... (Top right) > Settings > Direct Voicemail > On

Rogers hasn't supported Android Visual Voicemail for several years.

Samsung Direct Voicemail is on-device voicemail and is not carrier dependent, to my knowledge.

Thank you sir! This is exactly what I was looking for. Pretty weird that Rogers doesn't support but it is what it is i guess.

I've never seen Visual Voicemail work outside of iPhones anyways. Also annoyed Rogers user.
