Storage Limits for Voicemails
You cannot directly set a limit to the number of active voicemails on an iPhone, as this is a function of your carrier’s service and storage capacity. You cannot dictate how many voicemails can be stored before they are considered “full”. Instead, you can manage the voicemail system by deleting old messages or by choosing a voicemail service that offers more storage.
Retrieve a Deleted Voicemail
First, open the Phone app. Refer to the image below:
Next, tap Voicemail. See the image below:
Now, scroll to the very bottom of your voicemails and tap Deleted Messages. See the following image:
Next, tap the voicemail you want to undelete. (Make sure to tap in the middle of the voicemail, not the info icon to the side). Refer to the image below:
Now, tap the Undelete icon (red trashcan with a slash through it). The message will automatically be moved back into your main voicemail box. See the image below:
Remove Deleted Voicemails
If you have a lot of deleted voicemails (like us, we have 800), you have a couple of options.
Remove All Deleted Voicemails
First, in the Deleted Messages section, tap Clear All to permanently remove all deleted voicemails from your iPhone.
Next, you may be prompted to confirm the deletion. If so, tap Clear All again to proceed.
See the following image:
Remove Multiple Deleted Voicemails
If you just have certain voicemails you want to remove, just tap the Edit button at the top of the screen. Refer to the image below:
Next, tap the buttons to the left of the voicemails to select the ones you wish to remove. You can then tap Delete at the bottom of the screen. See the image below:
