Welcome to Android Central! Have you actually set up Visual Voicemail before?

It might be worth going to Settings>Apps>All, select Visual Voicemail, and Clear Cache/Data, then Force Stop. Now try again.

Same phone, same problem here.

Thank you! I cleared both cache and data then force stopped the app. Rebooted and it and it set up super quickly! I don't know which of those three fixes did it, but it sure works now. Wish I'd known it was this simple to fix 3 months ago...

I found this site after experiencing the same issue (using LG V10 on Verizon). I went to my app settings, cleared the cache, then the data, then force stop, and rebooted as shipmun suggested and instantly it works!

Thanks so much this has worked on my OnePlus 3. No idea why, but thanks.

Welcome to Android Central! Visual Voicemail is usually carrier-specific.

i dont have a visual voicemail "app" i looked for this.

I have a Samsung Express 3 and I also do not have an "app" for Visual Voice mail. I had to go to Settings>Devices> (applications can be pressed for here but it doesn't take you to Visual Voicemail... so) click on SEARCH. Type in the word "all". Scroll down until you see "all application". Click on that and then you get a list of all your apps. BUT when you click on Visual Voicemail, all you can do is turn it on or off.

Thanks. My Visual Voicemail just stopped working and I went to settings and cleared the data/cache and rebooted. After that I went into Visual Voicemail and followed the prompts to setup the application. It worked.

I forced it to stop and cleared data but it still won't work??? did I do anything wrong? and is Visual Voice just the app Voice mail becuase I cant find anything called visual voice!?!?

I went into the app and uninstalled the updates..back to factory setting..then went back to App store and updated and then it set everything up just fine.

I have a Moto H5S Plus that will not connect to Merto PCS Visual Voicemail. I tried to clear data and forced stop. Nothing. I tried to uninstall and reinstall. Nothing. Went back in cleared data and forced quit. Nothing. Still have the experiencing issues with activation message.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that would solve this issue. Thank you...

I tried every thing in the list and several other things as well. I found that clearing the data worked. I retried the app after each change and nothing helped until clearing the data.
Settings/storage/internal shared storage/visual voicemail. Hope this helps you as well
