HI Jfalcetta

Thank you for your message.  The Verizon Messages app is a text messaging tool. You can receive your text message on wifi, desktop, tablet and the web while abroad if the app is installed FIRST on your mobile phone.  Information can be found here if interested:  Take Texting to the Next Level | Verizon Wireless

I don't know anything about voice mail however.

THANKS,

ALIEM
