You will have to call into your voicemail box, enter your voicemail pin and then clear all the stored voicemails.I’ve been clearing my iPhone’s voicemail box via the phone settings and even though there were no messages in the inbox, anyone who called me was receiving a voicemail box full error.&nbsp;Turns out, I had 15 unread messages in the automated voicemail box. To clear these voicemails, you will have to call into your voicemail and delete the messages.&nbsp;Here’s how you can do that:Note: If you have forgotten your password, you will have to call your carrier and reset it.&nbsp;If the problem still persists, another thing that you can do is to check the Deleted Messages folder on your Voicemail app.&nbsp;The deleted voice messages are not deleted from your device right away and are sent to the ‘trash’ folder.&nbsp;To clear the voicemail trash folder:Go to the Phone app.Tap “Voicemail”.Look for the “Deleted Messages” folder.Select “Clear All” to permanently delete the messages in that folder.In addition to automated voicemail messages and deleted messages, the blocked voicemail box can also hog the storage.To clear all blocked voicemails follow these steps:Go to the Phone app.Tap “Voicemail”.Look for the “Blocked Messages” folder.Select “Clear All” to permanently delete the messages in that folder.If you have tried all the fixes mentioned earlier, then it is best to contact your wireless carrier.Here are some of the contact numbers and support pages that you can reach out to:During my research on why my iPhone voicemail says it’s full when it’s not, I found out that it is a common issue many iPhone users face.&nbsp;For most, the issue is resolved by clearing the automated inbox.However, at the same time, it is advised that you clear the deleted messages and blocked voicemail folder as well.&nbsp;In addition to this, also ask your carrier about how many messages can your voicemail inbox hold.&nbsp;The maximum number of voicemail messages, as well as the duration of the message, depends on the network carrier.If nothing else works, it is always a good idea to call your carrier and reset your voicemail settings.&nbsp;The reason why your iPhone is saying that your voicemail inbox is full might be because there are still messages on some of the folders in your voicemail such as Deleted and Blocked Messages. These messages might take up the maximum number of voicemail messages on your iPhone.To empty your iPhone’s voicemail inbox, go to Phone app &gt; Voicemail &gt; tap “Edit” on the upper right corner &gt; select the voicemails one by one by tapping the circle next to them &gt; tap “Delete”.The maximum number of voicemail messages on iPhones, as well as the duration of the message, depends on the network carrier.
