Quick Steps

In-Depth Tutorial
iExplorer can load voicemail from either a currently connected iPhone or an existing iTunes backup.
Access Voicemail on a Connected iPhone
Open iExplorer and connect your iPhone. From Device Overview, go to Data → Voicemail.
You can also browse voicemail from the left panel under Backups → Voicemail.
Access Voicemail from an iTunes Backup
iTunes backups store voicemail data, but the files are hard to read manually. iExplorer extracts and formats this data for review and export.
Click Explore Backups, select a backup under Browse iTunes Backups, then choose Voicemail.
Preview and Export Voicemail
Voicemails load in the main window with sender/number and date details.
Select an item to see details in the right panel and click Play to preview.
- To export selected items, highlight one or more voicemails and click Export Selected Voicemail.
- To export everything, click Export All.
Exports retain the original .amr format for lossless quality and long-term backup.
