What should I do if a voicemail on my phone isn't playing?

I was at the doctors and I was on my phone the whole time. I have a iPhone 7 and I have Verizon. I see a notification symbol on the phone app and I see that my manager left me a voicemail but there was no missed call. I assume it is was because there was no service at all where I was. I tried to play the voicemail but it just didn't give me an option to play it and it says transcription unavailable. So I assumed when I got out of there then I would be able to play it but it still wouldn't play and I had service so I looked online and it said to restart my phone which I did and still nothing. I even reset my network settings and still won't let me play it. What should I do?

How to talk to my mom about letting me get a job at 17?

So I'm 17 and will be 18 in in September. My mom has never let me have a job at 15 or 16 years old. Well I want a job now because I'm going to graduate in 2 weeks, I want to hang out with my friends this summer because we're all going to be having fun this summer and this is the summer I actually want to go out and be with friends and my boyfriend. I know she didn't want me to have one while in school. But I've kept straight A's since my 7th grade year and took 4 college courses. I'm valedictorian of my senior class. I just want a job so I can save up for a new phone (I want an iPhone, not an android anymore) and I want to save up for an apartment and to help my mom with my college. I just want to be responsible for myself a little bit. Almost all of my friends have job (1 doesn') I'm going to be 18 and I feel like she won't let me grow up because I'm the youngest girl. Any tips on talking to my mom to let her know that I'm growing up and I need to do things on my own a little?

Google Pixel phone or Samsung Galaxy S7 edge?

I'm upgrading my phone in a few days and I'm torn between the Samsung galaxy S7 edge or the google pixel phone. I'v looked at reviews for both and still can't decide so I'm hoping to get some more direct answers from people on here who have experience with either or both of these phones, it would be very helpful. Also, as apple are strict with this kind of stuff i've never been able to download apps outside of the app store (apps like cartoonhd etc) as I'm currently with an iphone 6, will the s7 and the pixel both allow me to do this as they are both android? If one of them can't that will be a huge deciding factor.

Will any SIM card work on my iPhone 7? (read details)?

I recently purchased an iPhone 7 on eBay and I can't really do anything to it. It's on the setup screen and when I try to get past it, it says "SIM Required". The phone is Sprint locked, I believe. I don't really have the money at the moment to buy an overpriced SIM card from Sprint + activation. Does anyone know if I buy any Micro SIM, will it work? IS there anything I can do without spending a bunch of money? ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE APPRECIATED!
