Getting back a voicemail I deleted on iPhone

Deleted a voicemail from my late grandad by mistake. Checked Deleted Messages in the voicemail tab and it's not there. Is there any other way, maybe through a backup or the carrier?

If there's no Deleted Messages section at all, your carrier probably doesn't use visual voicemail and the message lives on their server. Dial your voicemail the old way, some systems keep deleted messages for a bit. Restoring an older backup can sometimes bring it back, but that wipes everything newer on the phone, so only if it really matters.

Phone app > Voicemail, scroll to the very bottom. There's a Deleted Messages folder, open it and hit Undelete. If you already cleared that folder, ask your carrier, some keep them a while.
