How does voicemail work when I am roaming without a data package? I have an iPhone and set up visual voicemail. If I am roaming and don't have a data package, what happens when somebody calls me? Will they get my voicemail? Is there a fee for me?

    Hi, voicemail use data, so they won't work if you don't have a data plan.

    Your mobile plan must include the Voicemail option, as well as data.

    You should be able to listen to voice messages while on wifi if you don’t have roaming data in your plan. I don’t see why that wouldn’t work.

    Unfortunately, for some reason I don't know, visual messaging doesn't work when connected to Wi-Fi.

    Visual voicemail will not work while roaming without data, but you will be still able to access Fizz's voicemail number at +1-514-647-0999 to listen to your messages.

    That’s a bummer. I would have been mad if I’d learned that while on a trip.

    If you don't have a data package, the visual voicemail won't work.
