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.

Ah, that's a bit cheeky. I can avoid calling voicemail while abroad but didn't know that outside the EU that you would be charged for even getting the message in the first place. With my work I only travel in the EU so that didn't cross my mind, apologies to the OP.
Good idea with the voicemail settings too.
