Not all .wav files are alike. There are different kinds of wav files. My

Run 'file' on them, and see what it says.

Interesting -- I'm trying to listen to my voicemail too.

More than likely the .wav files coming out of voicemail are compressed GSM format. My understanding that it's the same compression used for cell phone audio. Most wav players don't understand it, but mplayer does. So, you need to use the commandline mplayer tool to translate it into a garden-variety .wav file.

It's likely that sox (the play command) will handle it, or convert it to something more common.
