Vodafone Visual Voicemail?

teaston · 09-19-2018, 05:29 AM

I am considering switching from EE to Vodafone but I can't seem to find a definitive answer anywhere if Vodafone supports visual voicemail on iPhone's.

Does anyone have Vodafone on their iPhone and can you confirm if visual voicemail works please?

Tengocity · 09-19-2018, 05:35 AM

My work phone is Vodafone and no visual voicemail.

Why are you considering this? Vodafone are the worst network by a mile. Which magazine reviews shows this, and from my experience over the last few years I'd wholeheartedly agree. My work phone is always dropping calls, especially if you try to use it on a train. The customer service is poor, and the website seems a decade behind the times.

If ever there was a company fleecing folk to satisfy shareholders then Vodafone is a great example.

Nope, fwiw I have no issues with Voda.

Oddly, I've found the exact opposite with Vodafone, they've been great for the last couple of years. All of us in my company are now on Vodafone after quality issues and rubbish roaming agreements that we've found with EE and Three. I think they're probably all as bad as each other and they're only interested in their new subscriber numbers.

Oh really!? I want to leave EE for poor call quality, dropped calls and a very strange problem where around 50% of calls that go to voicemail get cut off instantly! Their data coverage is excellent though.

The lack of visual voicemail may well kill the idea anyway, no way I could live without that with the volume of voicemails i get!

EE network does suffer with dropped calls, but the data coverage and speeds are very good. On the basis that I use the phone more for data services than calls I will be staying out.

Visual VM is very useful.

Tengocity · 09-19-2018, 06:00 AM

O2 has visual voicemail, and I've found the network to be pretty good, and as I travel the country then better than Vodafone. However, I guess it all comes down to how well the network suits where you live, work and spend most of the time.

Vodafone data coverage is good these days too, and my ipad is on EE so I would have the choice of either most of the time that I'm out and about.

goodbyalfa · 09-19-2018, 06:26 AM

In my part of the world, it's either Voda or O2 (I'm with Voda, wife is with O2), as the other two show shockingly bad coverage.
No real problems with Vodafone, apart from the high cost...
Sim only, 8Gb data, unlim minutes etc.., £18.odd...
There is no ~£10 option (2Gb data), which bearing my very very limited usage of text/phone means I'm left paying for more than I need..

My sister in law is on Vodafone Sim only £10 a month for 2GB

richatha · 09-19-2018, 07:06 AM

Yep i've been on vodafone years and there is no Visual but is that really a big issue? Do you get a lot of voicemails? I know i just hold 1 and listen to my voicemail and then it's done. I certainly don't think it should put you off from switching. Have you considered O2 or any other providers?

I use it for my business so I do get a lot of voicemails, it would be an absolute nightmare going through them the old fashioned way!

gr4z · 09-19-2018, 08:33 AM

I have just swapped from Three Business to O2 business, so far the data and voice has been miles better, especially inside buildings. Added bonus is O2 has VV.

SkyJawa · 09-19-2018, 09:00 AM

I'm on voda sim only, 40GB, 25 quid. Think that's pretty good since it also includes spotify premium worth 10 quid a month.

That is a cracking deal. I've been on 20gb for £20 a month for a year or so, seems like it's time for a phone call...

Ring and threaten to leave.

Dont accept the first offer..... request a PAC code.

Then wait for the next “best” they can offer!!

I am on a sim only deal with Vodafone, renewed in march... for 12 months, £10pm for unlimited texts + mins, 5GB and spotify premium!

But yeah signal and cal drops are pretty poor with them.

Can depend on where you are but basically this.

For me EE is the best phone and 4G I've ever seen by some way, prior Voda was a joke and mobile signal is infamous for barely working in a building.

I really think it depends on where you live if I'm honest. I live just 2 miles from a city centre yet I can't get any EE signal yet I can get almost full with Vodafone. I've been with Vodafone for about 12 years and haven't had an issue really. I have gone from Leeds to London on the train and I think it dropped off 4 times in 2 hours.

Again it's going to be a lot of EE is great with some people and Vodafone is good for others. However I do agree with the website and CS it is pretty shit!

EvilDrPorkChop · 09-19-2018, 01:13 PM

Been with Tesco over 9 years now and can't complain. Their customer service is fantastic and has been since day one. Data and voice coverage is pretty good in my area, and their SIM only deals a usually good value.

Parents are on EE and it's a nightmare even trying to have a conversation with them, drop outs, breaking up and times it just won't connect. Trying to get him to move but he's been on Orange since 1993 and is a bit attached.....
