Mine just started working on Verizon with iPhone 6s Plus. For what it's worth I have had the Verizon voice to text feature for several months, and the Apple iOS transcription does a much better job of transcribing my friend that mumbles than the Verizon version ever has. At lest a 40% improvement!

Any chance you could post your carrier setting version?

Just tested to see if it works on my phone and it doesn't. iPhone 6 Plus on Telus. I have iPhone visual voicemail (not the voicemail to text thing offered by Telus though).

I'm guessing that no one has been able to determine how to force activate this feature?

I have started getting transcriptions of pre iOS 10 voicemails now... so I guess it is retroactive

Anyone on 'EE' in the UK seeing anything ?
I'm on EE - not working for me. I installed PB on Friday.

I haven't tried resetting Visual Voicemail or anything though as the phone is my business one and don't want to 'miss' or lose anything. :/

I have Visual Voicemail - just not transcripts.

Are you on EE ?

I'm on o2 and have visual voicemail but no transcripts either. Might only work with future voicemails or it simply might be rolling out slowly. It's activated though so I think all we do is wait.

I posted on the EE forums and someone said they haven't activated it and have no plans to.

Wasn't an EE employee though - be interesting to know if there is something carrier side or whether it's a phone feature :/

It's frustrating that even now, phone networks still don't support Visual Voicemail. Three on Twitter keep saying they won't support it, which is rubbish, especially with their #MakeItRight campaign......

I left myself a test voicemail last night from work and no transcription yet on wind mobile either
