AT&T Visual Voicemail not setting up and other features not available

I have a unlocked Samsung S20 Ultra 5G from amazon. I use dual sim on It and Samsungs Visual Voicemail works for my secondary sim card, however when I try to set up my AT&T sim for visual voicemail, I get a text saying ERROR: INVALID NUMBER, also WI-FI calling and HD Voice calling is also gone, I cross-checked my phone on AT&T's list on phones working on the network and It listed all the features I cannot use. I have a SM-G988U1 model.
