Hi The way to get around this is to put messages in the first name field in contacts and the phone number field put 1571000 and ask siri to call messages

Im in the uk and it may be different here. I have an iphone XS with a BT SIM and an iphone 7 with Giffgaff. I can access voicemails on both iphones eitger from the Voicemail tab in the Phone app or by manually dialing the carrier’s voicemail number. But siri says she cannot dial the numbrrs and if asked to call voicemail, she claims i have no voivemail messages. The workaround on my iogone 7 is to create a new Contact called Giffgaff with the phone number as 443 (Giffgaff’s voicemail) - and now i can ask siri to call Giffgaff and she puts me tgrough to Giffgaff voicemail. This does not work woth the BT number as siri tells me she cannot dial that number (1571). This seems to be a siri problem - after all, my voicemail itself works fine.
