For folks wondering if their Native VVM app will work on T-Mobile's network, here's some helpful info. The native VVM app on Non-T-Mobile devices isn't something T-Mobile can guarantee will work with the VVM service. This goes for other native apps as well. We recommend folks download T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app I've linked below and use the VVM service through that app. The second link I posted below is for troubleshooting if you happen to run into any issues.
We have a couple articles that can help with this. Check out the two links below in relationship to the issue.

Hopefully, T-Mobile can implement your findings. I have the Pixel 2 XL and I'm currently having this same issue. Their excuse is that I'm a new customer and it takes "some" time to activate...up to 72 hours. I didn't have this issue when I activated my phone on Verizon. I'm excited that T-Mobile has better coverage for my area than Verizon, but this little hiccup puts a bad taste in my mouth. I seriously hope this gets resolved cause I can't settle for that sorry excuse of an app, T-Mobile VVM.
