Update 16/10/24
Australian's Rejoice! Apple Live Voicemail is now available for Aussie users, no workarounds required!
New Features
You can now set up voicemail on your iPhone with Visual Voicemail and Live Voicemail, which shows real-time transcription of your messages. Here’s how:
Open the Phone app on your iPhone.
Tap Voicemail, then select Set Up Now.
Create a voicemail password and choose your greeting (Default or Custom).
To enable Live Voicemail, go to Settings > Phone > Live Voicemail and turn it on.
Now, you can view transcriptions and decide whether to answer calls while they’re leaving a message!
Reminder: If your iPhone is off or out of range, the call is sent to carrier voicemail. Live Voicemail works seamlessly, providing real-time transcription, so you no longer need to scramble to take notes or worry about missing important details.

Revolutionising Communication
Unleashing The Power of Apple Live Voicemail in Australia
In today’s fast-paced digital era, connectivity is key for individuals and businesses alike. At SPN Co, we’re thrilled to share exciting news with our Australian customers – the introduction of Apple Live Voicemail with the groundbreaking iOS 17 update. Initially exclusive to the US, we’ve found a workaround to bring this innovative feature to you. Get ready to transform your voicemail experience with real-time transcriptions, call screening, and seamless call management.
Understanding Apple Live Voicemail
Apple Live Voicemail, introduced with iOS 17, is a game-changer in how we interact with voicemails. This feature provides users with a transcription of their phone conversations in real-time, allowing them to decide whether to answer the call or let it go to voicemail. It’s perfect for those on the move or who prefer to preview messages before responding.
Key benefits of live voicemail
Real-Time Transcriptions
Live Voicemail displays spoken words on the screen as the caller leaves a message, eliminating the need to wait for the message to end.
Call Screening
Users can screen calls by reading the transcriptions, deciding whether to answer, block unknown numbers, or send a quick message to contacts.
Accessibility
Particularly beneficial for individuals with hearing impairments, Live Voicemail provides a visual way to comprehend voicemail messages.
Enabling live voicemail in Australia
1. Set your language to English (US) in Settings > General > Language and Region.
2. Restart your phone.
3. Confirm Live Voicemail activation in Settings > Phone > Live Voicemail.
4. Record a new greeting (or leave as default) by navigating to the Phone app, selecting Voicemail, and choosing the Greeting option.
