MagikMail (available in both paid and ad-supported versions) is currently the only way to get visual voicemail functionality with your WP7 phone. It’s built on the API of YouMail, and allows you to see your voicemails as a list to scroll through, gives you personalized greetings, and for an extra fee will transcribe your messages, edited by a real live human being.
It’s not quite as well integrated as Google Voice on Android or Visual Voicemail on iPhone, but for what it is, the reports indicated that it works relatively well, and gets the job done. Here’s the official description:
MagikMail puts you in control of your voicemails. Now you can manage your voicemails just like you do your emails:
