Even if you don't delete a message, according to AT&T's voicemail usage page, messages stay around for either 14 or 21 days, rather than indefinitely
Voicemail messages are downloaded to the iPhone from AT&T servers and after being deleted from the iPhone are no longer available on the server.
Unfortunately,AT&T says that once it's gone, it's gone :(
If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe

I have a panasonic home phone want to remove the voice mail sign and light flashing

To remove the voicemail indicator and stop the flashing light on your Panasonic home phone, you can try the following steps:
1. Access the voicemail system: Dial your home phone number from your Panasonic phone or another phone and let it ring until it goes to voicemail. Enter your voicemail password or follow the prompts to access your voicemail messages.
2. Listen to and delete all voicemail messages: Check your voicemail inbox for any new or saved messages. Listen to each message and follow the instructions to delete them. Ensure that your voicemail box is empty.
3. Exit the voicemail system: Once you have listened to and deleted all voicemail messages, exit the voicemail system by following the prompts or hanging up the call.
4. Reset the phone: Disconnect the power adapter from the back of your Panasonic phone base unit. Wait for about 30 seconds and then plug the power adapter back in. This will perform a reset on the phone and clear any residual indicators.
5. Check the voicemail indicator: After the phone has rebooted, check if the voicemail indicator is still active or if the light is still flashing. If the issue persists, proceed to the next step.
6. Disable visual voicemail feature (if applicable): Some Panasonic home phones offer a visual voicemail feature that may trigger the voicemail indicator and flashing light. To disable this feature, consult the user manual for your specific model and follow the instructions to turn off the visual voicemail function.
7. Contact Panasonic support: If you have followed the above steps and are still unable to remove the voicemail indicator or stop the flashing light, it's recommended to contact Panasonic customer support for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your phone model and help troubleshoot the issue.
Remember to consult the user manual for your Panasonic home phone model as the steps and features may vary slightly.

I bought an iphone 4G and I am having trouble changing up my voicemail. It is showing an error that it can't

This is going to depend on what carrier you have, if youre going through a carrier that supports visual voicemail (where its downloaded automatically to your device, not where you have to call in) then you may need to setup your voicemail again. If youve forgotten your password you can call your carrier and hVe them reset it for you. They will either give you a temp password or just remove the password. You now have to reestablish a password and then put it in your phone. To call voicemail either press and hold the number "1" on your keypad under "phone" or simply dial your number and hit call. Once in your voicemail listen to the options, and choose administrative, or setup(these may vary by carrier) then "change your password". Once youve done that, hangup and then choose voicemail under "phone", it should prompt you for your password, just enter the one you just created and the rest should take care of itself. You can also call your carrier and get their assistance if that doesn't work, just call from a different phone so they will be on the line while you work it out. Good Luck!

Need to retrieve voice mail messages on my phone that automatically deleted, is there a way to get these back?

When users lose their voice memos in their iPhone 6, they can have a look at their iTunes first, maybe they have synced the voice memos to iTunes, and the voice memos can be found in iTunes folder. If not, you may need to restore your iPhone with iTunes to recover deleted voice memos from iPhone 6. If you have updated your iPhone backup in iTunes, you will save the voice memos in iTunes backup as well, so you are able to get the lost voice memos back with iTunes.

When the restoring process is done, you will get the backup contents in your iPhone 6. The voice memos should have been restored to your iPhone 6 as well. However, as is known, there is chance that the iPhone 6 users will lose the newly added data in their device if they haven't updated their backup. At this moment, people will need a piece of iPhone data recovery software to recover deleted voice memos from iPhone 6 backup.

I saved voice mails but can;t find how to retrieve them? 911 !

Are you not able to retrieve new voicemails or only saved voicemails? Occasionally your carrier may delete old saved voicemails to make room for new ones.

If you want to save all old voicemails on your computer forever, you can sign up for a service like youmail.com

Conair TAD-1220 Digital answering machine

Background: The TAD1220 does not have a way to manually delete messages. It more or less has a FIFO(FIRST IN-FIRST OUT) method of retaining messages. It will save up to 14 minutes of messages and then they are deleted automatically after you play them back and receive another incoming call.

This is important:
It will only erase the messages AFTER you have listened to them *AND* received another message.

Exception: If you happen to press the STOP/SAVE button, then all of the messages will be RE-SAVED until the memory limit has been reached.

Extreme Solution:
The only manual way is to remove the battery, disconnect the power cord and erase everything. You will then need to reprogram your greeting.

Iphone visual voicemail

it took 2 weeks for AT&T to figure this out. Essentially, you have to be on the Edge network for the Visual Voicemail to work. I was on wi-fi, and was therefore the VM was not working. The easy fix for me: press and hold the home button (round button at bottom) and the power button simultaneously. then slide the bar over that appears on the screen. this will get you back on the Edge network, and problem solved. you will know you are on the Edge when the "E" appears at the top near your service bars. hope this solves your problem.
