What they are saying is, if you are outside the EU, and someone phones you, and they get diverted to your voicemail, as soon as they hear the beep, the meter is running. Your mobile operator charges you as if you were answering the call, for as long as the caller is recording their message.

If you later dial in to your voicemail to listen to the message, then you get charged again for that call. It seems that the only way of avoiding this is to set your voicemail to advisory message only, and prevent anyone leaving you a message while you're outside the EU.
