Good morning, @Riobert007. Thanks for reaching out.

It sounds like your voicemail inbox may need to be reset from our end; there's a mismatch between what your phone thinks is there and what's being reported.

We'll be reaching out in a private message to collect more details. Please check your Messages within your profile avatar in the top right corner.

Unsure how to check or send a private message? See How to send a private message

Cheers.

Hi everyone! After working on this with @Riobert007, we managed to find a fix for the issue.

For anyone else in the Community who may encounter similar voicemail issues with Samsung devices, try the following:

Open your default Phone app and select the three dots (these are your settings)
Look for the "Bixby text call" or the "live voicemail/call screening" and disable them.
Afterwards, go back to Call settings -> Voicemail settings and make sure the default voicemail number is still saved as the default Bell voicemail number: 647-383-2355

A huge thanks again to @Riobert007 for his patience and cooperation with us. 🙂

Best wishes everyone.
