Here are some common causes for activation failures and their solutions:
With the switchover to the iPhone 6, AT&T appears to have made a change in their servers that has made activating YouMail more difficult. Click on the button above to solve this issue.
Your calls may not be going to YouMail for a few different reasons including, but not limited to, tower maintenance, your phone hasn’t been updated, or you’re traveling. Click on the button above to find out how to forward your calls to YouMail and verify activation.
It's possible there was a problem calling your phone. Make sure you are in an area with a strong signal then try the activation again.
You can verify activation again. This time, decline the call and follow the on-screen instructions.
If the app was closed or interrupted after it was told to verify activation, the phone may report that the activation failed. Simply retry to verify activation again.
If none of these solutions help with your problem, please submit a ticket to our support team

@Brian Rule The iPhone 6 has different call forwarding instructions than other phones, so if the codes do not work, you will need to contact your carrier to enable "conditional call forwarding". I will be sending you an email with more information about your issue.
@Mark Check your email, I will have a member of our support team contact you shortly!
