No. The system does not work that way. The voicemail system has nothing to do with the phone. It's an underlying redirect in the GSM that sends the call to a machine somewhere else. There is no connection to the user's handset. They cannot answer the call during the voicemail being left because the call has already been sent somewhere else.
If the call is not answered it is not sent to the country you are roaming in, it is sent to your voicemail provider which operates in the UK, I cant see how they justify a roaming charge
