voicemailbox

Automated message holder

A voicemailbox is a digital storage space where incoming voice messages are held for later retrieval.

The term combines voicemail with mailbox, emphasizing the container rather than the messages themselves: My voicemailbox is full again.

Often shortened to just voicemail or mailbox in context.
