Once upon a time, phones had two functions: to facilitate phone calls, and keep voicemails. Nowadays, voicemails aren't nearly as popular as text messages or emails.

From another phone, call your own phone number. 2. Wait for the recorded "Please leave a message" greeting to start playing, then tap the pound key (#) on the phone's dial pad. 3. Enter your voicemail pin. You'll now have access and control over your voicemail inbox.

These apps will usually let you listen to your voicemail without calling the inbox as well. William Antonelli/Business Insider
