    Best voicemail on cellphone.

    Hi everyone, I am having real trouble with 2 degrees not notifying me that I have a voicemail after I have been out of coverage. It has caused several embarrassing incidents with stock trucks and missed opportunities with contractors. I initially went with 2 degrees as they were the only company allowing WIFI calling to be turned on allowing me to get texts and calls at my workshop yard, but I understand some other companies allow that now. Does anyone have a good suggestion for either a change of phone company with a better voicemail setup or maybe a third-party app?
    Cheers.

    You can't just ring and check your voicemail when you pop back into future world? To be fair, I have Sparkless and Vodablown and both tend to let go on the voicemail notifications. Your other option is a voicemail message that tells people to text you and not leave a message due to being in the fringe world that the big telco's think doesn't exist...

    I have 2 degrees for the same reason wifi calling. As soon as I get back into coverage either mobile or wifi I get a 202 text notifying me if a message if it's a text it pops straight up. It could be your message settings aren't right something like do not disturb may be on. I'm no techspert mind you

    Yeah I could, But Im out of coverage most of every day. I tend to call it regularly if I'm expecting a call, but I forget a lot too... The text thing isn't a bad idea though.

    I have checked out all my settings and I reckon I get a text maybe one out of four voicemails. It just doesn't seem to work consistently, if it works well for others I guess it could be worth calling 2 degrees for a chat.

    Just change your voicemail message mate. Mine says I work out of service alot so don’t leave a message, send a text or email. If they leave a message I’ll probably ignore it, they didn’t listen.

    How worn out is your phone I'm the same as you with service & sometimes my phone takes a long time to get going when getting back in service as in it still thinks there no service & it take 15- 20 minutes to work out there service driving home other times it picks it up really quick. I'm on spark & they really got at texting to let me know if there a voicemail or any missed call but they piss my off as they just show a nb not the name off the Miss call / voicemail
