voicemail 

The only way someone who doesn't text and I don't know will have any means of contacting me via phone.

If it's important, they'll leave a voicemail.

Voicemail texting

When you're texting someone and you both take a long time to answer and you end up leaving messages back and forth instead of engaging in steady conversation

Voicemail voice 

A more serious, professional tone of voice typically reserved for voicemail greetings. It's often misused in casual, less business-oriented settings.

1. The party was great until Dion started talking to all the girls in his voicemail voice. He always thinks he's so distinguished.

2. When Rachelle start speaking in her voicemail voice I realized she was actually breaking up with me this time.

Voicemail Concert 

The act of recording parts of an especially kickass concert to the voicemail of an unfortunate friend unable to make it there due to school, work, or monentary troubles, so they don't feel quite as left out.

A close cousin to the phonecall concert, it allows for convenience and multiple listens.

Jake: Aw man, Matt and Kim are tearing up the stage with Daylight right now! I feel bad Nick can't be here to see this!
Mike: Oh don't worry about it, I'm leaving Nick a Voicemail Concert!

Nick (the next day): Dude you don't know how much I appreciate this. I don't even care that the audio sucks balls.

voicemail jail 

A pre-recorded telephone answering system where callers are asked to press numbers on their telephone to hear different messages. Can often lead callers in circles, preventing them from doing what they are trying to do. These are most often used by large companies who are too cheap to get real people to answer the phone.

I tried to call the carpeting company but I got stuck in a voicemail jail.
