Well, it's official: I've become my mother. After six months of trying, I'm willing to concede that it is physically impossible for me to play voicemail messages on my iPhone. Either I cause the "Greeting" option to come up, or nothing happens at all ... well, "nothing" if you don't count my screaming and cursing on the street like a man (wo)man. (And why does that fucking Siri constantly turn on no matter what I do????) I guess the only silver lining in this menopausal development is that very few people leave voicemails anymore.

I have the same problem. To listen to my messages I have to call my phone and enter in my code.
Really? Just can't get hitting that little blue button to the left of the name? Oy, Ken.
Well you can always do what Sean said. Even better, you can add a "pause" after the phone number in your address book and put your code at the end so you don't have to type anything else in: tap the + * # key to see a "pause" button you can tap as many times as you need (the pauses will appear as commas).
So if you call say Verizon, you dial your number, wait for your voice mail to play, then #, then wait to be prompted for your code, then enter the code plus a # at the end. In your Contact list you'd enter all this as MYCELLNUMBER,#,CODE#
(hope that made sense and I'm not just telling you something you already know)
Get Google Voice. Problem solved.
Dishy - I have it easiest to hit speaker first and then hit the message. The other way never works for me either!
The voice mail is tricky. Like Joe said just keep pushing the little blue button.
Tap the persons name once and it is highlighted in blue with the "play" button to the left.
Tap twice and the message begins playback with the "play" changing to a "pause" button.
To turn Siri auto correct off, do the following;
Settings>General>Accessibility>Speak Auto-Text>OFF
