Voicemail is full on your iPhoneand you’re not sure why. The voicemail menu is empty in the Phone app, but your inbox is still full. In this article, I’ll explain why your iPhone voicemail is full and show you how to fix the problem!
Several users are reporting this voice mail problem. It seems that iPhone displays a warning message saying voicemail is 95% or 100% full, even though there are no voicemail messages or there are just a few messages.
Before you do anything, make sure that your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS.
Why Is My Voicemail Full?
Most of the time, your iPhone voicemail is full because the voicemails you deleted on your iPhone are still being stored somewhere else. Most of the time, those voicemails are still being stored with your carrier.
Call into your voicemail on your iPhone and play your voicemails. At the end of each voicemail, press the number designated for deleting voicemails. This will erase the messages saved by your carrier and free up space in your voicemail inbox.
How To Delete Voicemail On Your iPhone
If you haven’t already, delete the voicemails currently stored on your iPhone. To do this, open Phone and tap Voicemail. Then, tap Edit in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Tap on the voicemails you’d like to delete.
Tap Delete in the lower right-hand corner of the screen when you’ve selected all the voicemails you’d like to erase.
Clear All Deleted Messages
Even when you delete a voicemail on your iPhone, it’s not necessarily erased entirely. Your iPhone saves your recently deleted messages, just in case you’ve made a mistake and erased an important one. However, this means a lot of deleted messages can pile up and fill your voicemail inbox.

Before deleting messages, make sure that your wireless coverage signal is strong enough for your voicemail services to work.
