Personally, I don't like them, because of the asymmetry of effort in sending vs receiving, and that you can't tell how serious it is before listening to it.

I occasionally still get messages on my mobile provider's default voicemail, and honestly by far the biggest issue is the fact that it very slowly reads out the sender's full number and the exact time of the message before even starting. Without that it would still be bad, but probably 10 times less bad.
