Hi FRiends, can you help?

Is there a way to increase the volume for Voicemail? I have an iPhone 8, everything works but if I receive a voice mail, I cannot hear the sender. I searched settings...nothing to help. Perhaps you have a suggestion? The volume button is on high, phone calls are fine, it is just the voicemail that is a problem.

Thanks for any ideas.

Not only is it louder than the inaudible default, it's adjustable with the volume buttons. I use speaker with regular phone calls so I don't have to hold the phone next to my ear.

Find the headphones? Good luck with that. And earbuds? I'd lose them in 2 minutes.

Good luck. Don't hit the phone icon, or you'll call back.

You could try pairing a bluetooth speaker to your iPhone. That tends to work for me although I avoid using voicemail - it's a horror for those hard of hearing.

The disadvantage is that it's not really portable.
