Your question is open-ended as there are many VoIP providers, and
voicemail isn't an inherent feature of VoIP. So what voicemail you may
get depends on which provider you choose.
However, many providers use Asterisk to provide their service.
Asterisk has "Comedian Mail" voicemail built in, and it's so easy to
configure that it'd be criminal not to  so you'll usually find that
voicemail on VoIP are based on that.
The feature list is here:

Note that your VoIP provider may limit the features available to you
for "security" or commercial reasons.

you could plug one into an ATA.
Some services provide voicemail, BTBroadbandVoice for example has a
"1571" service included.

Not quite sure what your requirements are,
But maybe its worth mentioning that Sipgate numbers come with a free
Voicemail service which can be configured to answer any calls to them
irrespective of whether they originate from VOIP or PSTN.
The incoming messages can be presented as .wav file attachments to your
email address
