I have an iphone 5s, running the latest version of ios. I have a voicemail that I want to keep for personal reasons. Is there any way I can keep this voicemail from getting deleted?
Sure. Just don't.
Learn if your carrier has a limit on how long they stay, but I think not.
If so each time you come close to that time limit, listen to it, and resave it.
Most carriers will send out a recorded message telling you you are about to loose a message, so if you want it do you want to resave it.
Next, when clearing others, do it manually, don't use the clear all feature.
I'm not sure what phone company you use, but I know that AT&T has a limit on the amount of time a person can keep voicemails. if I'm not mistaken, that timeframe is either two weeks, or a month.
you might be able to resave messages, but there's no guarantee on that.
if you have a digital recorder though, you could record the message that way, and, assuming you keep things on your digital recorder/computer, you'll still have your voicemails, even if they're no longer on your phone itself.
I have sprint as my cell phone carrier.
Even when I had A T and T OI could resave a voicemail as long as I did it each time it expired.
Again, just contact Sprint, in this case.
I've kept voicemail for a really long time.
I currently have Verizon, and these never seem to go away until I make them.
I took a look on the Sprint website.
In 2011 they had a 30 day limit.
They also have an article about calling your phone and operating your voicemail service from another phone.
If you did that, you could resave your massage say ever 15 or so days.
But again, these are older articles.
Call Sprint.
calling Sprint will be your best bet; articles that you find online may be outdated, so if you call them, you'll get an up-to-date answer from a representative.
I have AT&T, and voicemails only save 14 days for me. Saving toward their expiration may
extend it by a day or so, but not by much. When I had Sprint, I'm not sure how long they
could be saved, but I think I had one saved for a month before I switched to AT&T.
Why not patch your phone into your computer and run a recording software like audacity? Or you could plug your phone into an electronic recorder and just record the message off of your phone? That way you can hear it whenever you need to and you are not bound by a timeline.
