Deleting Mass Voicemails using Website

In the old voiceedge portal, you could at least delete 10 voicemails at a time. The current portal only allows you to delete ONE at a time, which is incredibly frustrating and time consuming. Especially when the portal is very slow, taking up to 20-30 seconds between delete.

 

There should be an option to select all voicemails displayed (usually it's 10 at a time) as well as an option (with safety prompt) to be able to select all voicemails to delete.

I appreciate the feedback on this CDE, we understand how beneficial it would be to have a bulk Delete option and will continue to pass this input along. You can also reference this thread which addresses this issue and has a link for management of voicemail services too.

If you use the phone system to delete the voicemails, you can hit 7 when she tells you how many voicemails are in your inbox.  Then she will ask you if you want to delete all messages in your inbox.  Done.

If we can't bulk delete voicemails, there should at least be a button to empty the voicemail trash. It just took 30 minutes to delete 96 voicemails one at a time, but now I have to delete permanently from the voicemail trash one at a time as well. I have 3 offices and we always have a ton of voicemails. I need a full time employee just to keep up with deleting messages. It is also ridiculous that you can't have transcription active with auto delete. All of our voicemails go to our office email inbox so all employees can check them and know which ones are returned. If they are important, we save to the client file and then delete the email. Then we also have to login and delete it from the voicemail system and then again from the voicemail trash. There's an option to set them to autodelete once forwarded to email, but that turns off transcription. The whole point of sending to email is to increase efficiency. We don't have speakers on our computers so we can't listen to voicemails and only one user can be logged into the central voicemail at a time. The entire system is broken and redundant. I'm already looking for a new phone provider. We switched to Comcast less than a year ago and have spent more time with support trying to make the system work than we have spent actually using the system.

Hello @user_763c25 and thank you for reaching out over our Community forum for business. I am sorry that the voicemail system is giving you so much trouble. Is this for Xfinity Mobile business account or landline? I would be happy to take a look at your account. Before we get started, could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? Our team can most definitely take a further look at this issue.

To send a "Peer to peer" ("Private") message:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

• Click the "Peer to peer chat" icon

• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

• Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list which appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

• Press Enter to send it

I no longer work for Comcast.

I have the same problem.  A simple "delete all" button would save hours of aggravation.  Comcast is costing business so much money with this stupid glitch and it doesn't seem interested in fixing it.  Seriously, a high school kid in a computer programming class could throw a button on there, easy stuff.  Bad business, Comcast.

I've not seen a resolution other than using the dial in system to delete the messages...  has there been any movement to allow for a delete all from the online phone system???  I'm with the other users, completely frustrating to need to delete each from the voicemail box, AND THEN NEED TO DO THE SAME IN THE TRASH!  I can empty trash on my phone, on my emails, etc. etc.  Why not empty trash in comcast voicemail??

@peacejourney here is a great thread and a resolution that was given from about 2 years ago. https://forums.businesshelp.comcast.com/conversations/business-voiceedge/reset-voicemail/6169f6113fc3e17674c6e917 @Comcast_Gabby gave a detailed post on how to delete or marked as read multiple/all voice mails. Please give thus a try and let me know if it worked.

In the Comcast Business app, you can access voicemail playback capabilities, edit voicemails you have received and see voicemail details.

  1. Select Voicemail from the bottom menu. Here you can access all your voicemails, view voicemail transcripts and playback selected voicemails.
    • Select a specific voicemail to view the full transcript, share the voicemail or delete.

  2. Select Edit in the top right corner of the voicemails page to make changes to your voicemails. You can mark voicemails as read or unread, as well as delete voicemails.

Cat believe this is still a dilemma. Any news on deleting bulk voice messages? I do not even have the voicemail option in my Comcast Business app.

Thanks for reaching out regarding deleting bulk voicemails, user_goms. We want you to be able to clear your voicemail box easily. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that helps? Are you showing your voice messages in the app?

I saw this solution but it wasn't applicable to me... we don't use the app, and the options noted were not available in the web version of the account.

So far all I'm seeing are options to delete from the app, not directly from the web-based site.  Anyone found a solution for web-based bulk deletion?
