The application for voice messaging
If you want an application to work fine with voice messaging, Skype is the best choice for sure. First of all, it has the advantage of being the first big player in this field, so they are a few steps ahead of any competitor. Second, it is very well adopted and it's the most used application. It is very often used by companies to communicate with clients, so you shouldn't be surprised when you find the 'Skype us' logo on every important website. Also, it has great features like audio conferences, chats or PC to Phone Calls. Their chats are bringing a really new cool concept, as a combination between Yahoo Messenger Conferences and the old IRC chats: you can invite some of your contacts into a chat and they'll be able to see the messages even if they log out. The version for Mac is even cooler because it has tabs :). And the best thing about Skype is that it's free!
