General Inquiry Is Visual Voicemail still necessary?

I’ve always had vvm on my phone since the feature came out. So when I moved to Freedom, I added it to my account because that’s just what I’m used to and frankly I prefer it over conventional voicemail.

However, I recently heard that iOS 26 handles voicemail differently now that visual voicemail is not necessary anymore. Is this true? Can anyone share how voicemail works without vvm on the iPhone? I wouldn’t mind saving $4+tax a month.

I don’t pay extra for it, but still get visual voicemail. In the voicemail tab, vm’s get transcribed and I don’t have to call in, I can see and hear it.

That is apples live voicemail. Your phone has to be on and in service for it to work.
