Voicemail box full, no notification or bulk delete option

Issue 1:

My voicemail box filled up 6 weeks ago and stopped taking messages.

Since there is no notification I have no way of knowing my box is full, therefore I am losing messages and potentially business. 

 

Issue 2: One I realized the box was full I went to my online portal and attempted to bulk delete (select all-delete) 155 messages, but there is no way to do that. I called customer service and they confirmed it is not possible. I had to sit there and delete them one -at- a- time. As if I have nothing better to do.

 

For a business account, this is absurd.   My request:

 

1- Please provide the option to receive box full notification at an email of my choosing.

2 - Please provide the ability to bulk delete mesages

I can understand your frustration. I would like to look further into your mailbox concerns. Can you please provide the name, address and phone number through private message?

I can help you configure your Business VoiceEdge service to get the most out of it. We do have options for notification and voicemail management. Please send a private message so we can review your account and voice settings.

I'd like to know what your solution is @Comcast_Claude.  Because I spent about 60 minutes explaning both these issues to one of your collegaues and then one of your "engineers".  I would have had more success talking to a Martian. These two issues are awful for end-users.  Why should we have to delete messages twice?

Then make a bulk email delete! Your customers have been asking for it for a LONG time, just do it!!

This is one of the best examples of how Comcast Business Voice Edge is an inferior product to almost other VOIP services. The hours I have spent on the phone with Comcast Reps attempting to fix problems like this is incredibly frustrating. If I weren't locked into an overpriced contract I would leave.

Wow this is shocking a simple bulk delete button hasn't been implemented. The worst part of going through 90 messages to delete one-by-one is that it takes 13 seconds for each one. Kill me now.....

And then you have to go through this grueling process again to empty them out of the trash folder. I open three different browser windows with the left one starting at the top, the 2nd one in the middle and then the third one at the bottom (but working upwards) just deleting away. About every five minutes, they all get hung up and I have to spend a couple of meetings getting them running again.

Hi, @user_a370ef. I can understand the convenience of bulk deleting and our product team is aware of the changes and the goal was to move many features into the app, bu also work on changes in the portal for the future. The app should have the feature to delete bulk voicemails. Can you confirm if it is an option?

I no longer work for Comcast.

This discussion is now 3 years old, and it's STILL not done. How can this be called a "premium" service when it doesn't even have a basic "delete all" feature? There's no option to delete the corresponding voicemail when you get an email, and you have to log in to individually delete every stupid message?! It's 2021. You need to do way better than this. GoDaddy/Google/Etc is starting to look like a much, much better option.

Hey @K_G, thank you for reaching out to us on our forums. the delete all function is available through the app. That is a great idea to have an option to have the corresponding voicemail deleted with the email. I'll pass your feedback on to our development team and appreciate you taking the time to let us know!

So, looks like Comcast doesn't have a bulk delete option and there's no way I'm going through 200 voicemails to delete them. 😤

I created a solution that would like to offer you.

In your browsers Javascript console enter this code

function deleteAllVoicemails () {
    const deleteBtns = document.querySelectorAll("[data-role='delete-single']");

    for (btn of deleteBtns) {
        btn.click();
    }
}
deleteAllVoicemails();

You should see a green notification that keeps popping up saying something about the voicemail has been deleted. Stay on the page until the notification stop popping up.

As a note, the query selector for the delete buttons could be different on your end.

Best of luck!

@user_6d5ab2​ This solution is brilliant! I'm annoyed I didn't think of it myself. For those of you not sure how to find the "console", for most browsers just right-click and choose 'Inspect'. For Safari on a Mac, you need to enable the 'Develop' menu (in the advanced preferences). Simply do a Google search for your browser + console and it should point you in the right direction. Then, log into your account dashboard, and navigate to your voicemail inbox. Copy and paste this code into the console and hit enter (or click run, however your browser handles it). It will take it from there.

Even worse, once you individually delete every voicemail you must then go into your trash and individually delete them there or it still uses your space.  It is completely asinine.
