So my iPhone had a problem, and I realized it sometime yesterday, when my brother called me back and left a voicemail. The problem was that Visual Voicemail wasn't working. Rather than calling voice mail to listen to messages, the iPhone is supposed to have a list of voice mails, and you can just pick which one you want to listen to. No listening to prompts and pushing 7 to delete the message, or 9 to save it. Just pick it from the list and push the delete button to make it go away, etc. Really handy, when it works.
But no, it was working like a normal phone, and actually calling voice mail. And if there's one thing I can not stand, it would be the iPhone working like a normal phone.
I spent an hour or so on the phone today with Apple, and then AT&T trying to get this figured out. Apple said it was an AT&T thing, AT&T said my account was set up correctly. But nothing made it work as it should.
So then I was out with Marcela tonight, and when I went to show her the phone, and went into voicemail, it asked for a password for voice mail, and after that worked like Visual Voicemail should.
