Iphone 7 plus Visual Voicemail Unavailable

[jpk]

Greetings. I did an iPhone upgrade from 6 to 7 plus - because 6 was getting too slow with recent updates. The visual voice mail on the 7 plus does not work, eventhough the messages are still accessible when dialling. I have called Fido, which transferred me to Rogers, but they had no real solution (until they cut the communication on their hand ...). I also spent quiet a bit of time checking forums. One of the things I did was to reset the network settings. Note that when I go in the phone and then voicemail settings, changing the password is not possible (I don't get the "ok" after doing the operation). So I am really perplexed. And I fear calling customer service will result in lots of wasted times and unsure results. So I am attempting here, hoping someone will have some idear. Thanks.
