Sorry to be completely lost but what is "visual voicemail"? This is an odd term - almost as daft as "visual BASIC"

Instead of calling a number and listening to messages one by one you have an inbox and can play/delete them using a UI.

Well I've never had that on Android here in the UK. I still have to ring my EE voicemail and listen to messages one by one. Thanks for the info.
