English for making phonecalls

Hello
Currently I �m working on some worksheets devoted to telephone English. I am not sure if the phrase listen to a voice mail is correct? Could any native speaker help me in this respect ?I �ve come across listen a voice mail but it seems to me unlikely to use listen without to. THX a milion for your kind reply.

Yes, it�s correct
We are going to listen to voice mail OR we are going to listen to voicemail messages
We are going to listen to a voice mail OR we are going to listen to a voice mail message
When voicemail was a new concept, �listen to a voice mail� was not correct, it needed �message� on it just like we�d say listen to an answering machine message. But these days, it is perfectly acceptable to say that.
Listen a voicemail is incorrect
Cheers
Jayho
