The Inbox is the first screen displayed after launching the Visual Voicemail app. You can also access the Inbox by tapping the menu icon , and then selecting Inbox.
The Inbox displays the voicemail messages you have received. You can see at a glance which messages are new (highlighted in bold) and which ones you have already listened to (not highlighted). If you are subscribed to Premium service, you can also see which messages you have flagged (green triangle for low importance, red triangle for high importance, and yellow triangle for an attached note).
To listen to messages from the Inbox, simply tap the play icon . See Listening to your Messages for details.
Note: If you are subscribed to the Premium service or the free trial, your voice messages will be transcribed in the Inbox. Otherwise, in the Basic plan your messages will not be transcribed. You can upgrade to Premium service in Settings > Preferences > Manage Subscription.
Note: The maximum message limit for all folders combined (Inbox, Archive, Custom, Blocked, and Trash) is 1,250. Once you reach this limit, you'll get a message telling you to delete some messages before you can receive new messages.
