Restoring EE Voicemail on iPhone
Call 222 from your EE SIM. If the call connects and asks for a PIN, voicemail is working but the divert may need restoring. If the call fails, proceed to the next step.
Dial **61*07953222222*11*30# from your iPhone phone dialler and press Call. This re-enables the voicemail divert for unanswered calls on EE.
Dial **67*07953222222*11*30# (busy) and **62*07953222222*11*30# (phone off/no signal). This restores voicemail when your iPhone is unavailable on EE.
If voicemail asks for a PIN you do not know, call 150 (free from EE mobile) to reset it. EE will verify your identity before resetting the voicemail PIN on your account.
The EE app or Visual Voicemail feature on your iPhone may give direct access to messages without a PIN. Check your EE app for a voicemail or messages tab.
If using codes, ensure the voicemail number is in full UK format. Some iPhone models require a + prefix: +44123 instead of 0 or just 123.
If voicemail has never worked or was recently lost after a plan change, call 150 (free from EE mobile). EE may need to re-provision the voicemail service on your account.
Common Causes of This Issue on EE
| Cause | Likelihood | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Divert cleared | High | Re-enable with dial code |
| Wrong voicemail number | Medium | Use correct number for carrier |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EE voicemail number?
The EE voicemail access number is 123. Dial this from your EE SIM to check messages. If calling from abroad, dial the full international format: +44 followed by the number without the leading zero.
How do I set up voicemail on EE?
Dial 222 from your iPhone and follow the recorded prompts to set your PIN and record a personal greeting. If voicemail is not set up, callers will hear a default EE greeting. You only need to do this once.
Why has EE voicemail stopped working?
Voicemail on EE works via a call divert. If the divert was cleared — by a network reset, SIM swap, or firmware update — voicemail calls will ring indefinitely instead of going to the mailbox. Re-enable using dial code **61*07953222222*11*30# on your iPhone.
