I hated voicemail until I got Visual Voicemail on an iPhone. That's a reasonably good interface to the concept of voicemail.
It also helps that almost everyone that does end up leaving me a voicemail knows how to leave one.
Friends don't leave voicemails, they just try text/whatsapp next, e.g. "Hey, just tried to call you for a chat but you didn't answer, wondered if you want to go to the pub this evening."
Companies that leave coherent voicemails get called back, those that don't are just ignored as if they hadn't called at all.
Don't hate the system, hate the standard interface and/or hate the people that leave long rambling voicemails for no real reason and then garble an incomplete/incorrect phone number at the end of it.
