I still use voicemail. I recently switched cell phone providers, and the two features I insisted on having were voicemail and call display.
Interestingly enough, I hate text messages and avoid them as much as possible. I'd just as soon have someone leave me a voice message that I can check at my convenience.
I do frequently find myself erasing messages that are no longer pertinent by the time I get them (mostly from my mother, who loves to leave a lot of messages), but I get important messages often enough to mean that the function itself is still indispensable.
