By turning on the AirPlane mode, you should disconnect from the provider network. Also, you get connected again by turning it off. Go to Settings > AirPlane Mode> turn it on. Similarly, you can turn it off after thirty seconds.
Cellular Data/ Mobile Data
When the voicemail isn’t working, try disconnecting your Cellular data. Further, wait for around 30 seconds and turn it on. Go to Settings –> Cellular Data –> Turn it on or off as required.
