Free Voicemail without using call credit?

Do any mobile networks on PAYG offer free message/voicemail services which don't use credit?

ie. I can listen to messages on my number without any credit

    If you have a smartphone try using the Hullomail app. By its nature it uses a data connection to operate but it is far superior to the bog standard offering provided by the networks as not only does it show the voicemail a bit like a music player with a play / pause, playagain etc but it lists all your voicemails and you can play them back time and time again.

    From what I recall it requires your network to provide call forwarding so doesn't work on many virtual networks therefore you would need a payg with EE or 3 etc rather than Tesco.

    Details are on their website.

    Forwarding the incoming call to anything except the network's own voicemail costs money, so this wouldn't actually reduce cost.

    But if you do need to maintain some credit and make a chargeable call/text within their timescale to keep sim going.
