We'll probably have to agree to disagree on this Bex. I find voicemail extremely useful. In my work, I have to keep in touch with lots of different people some of whom will be calling to give me my next assignment. The nature of my job means that I'm often unable to answer my mobile calls for long periods. No answer means no job and my next day's pay would be lost.

But we digress and probably should get back to the original topic - the cost of using voicemail abroad.
