If the voicemail is full on your iPhone, people who call and try to leave a message will hear a voicemail full message and be unable to leave you a message until you clear some space. The number of voicemail messages you're allowed depends on your cellular service provider. For example, T-Mobile allows 30 voicemails, while Verizon allows 40. If you've hit your limit, you can delete voicemails on your iPhone to free up space. If you want to preserve or archive some of these, you can save voicemail as audio or text.
