Voicemail icon on Samsung S3

FirstTimer4Me

I've recently got a Samsung S3, just figured out how to retrieve answerphone messages however, the reason I didn't realise I had answerphone message was because I don't know what the answerphone icon is.

On a previous mobile, missed calls indicated I had an answerphone message, why doesn't the S3 do the same, or, is there an answerphone icon on the home screen I'm not aware of?

Haven't got a clue what you're on about, what I do know is, 129 post's in the 9 years since you've been a member, you're a great contributor to the forums.

It would appear to be on the pull down notification menu.

But you could be a lot younger than many of the knowledgeable guys and gals on here . Age has nothing to do with it .

Do you have a spool symbol on your home screen?

Yes, top left handside

If you have the spool symbol, that means that someone has left you a voicemail.
Go to your dial pad and long press button 1, this should dial your voicemail service.

System

Try 1 as Tony suggests.

If that doesn't work, then Google your network's voicemail number - it's usually something like 123, 121 or 901
