This website has the steps to move voicemails to local storage on your phone, whether it's iOS or Android. Once you've done that you can just back them up to a thumb drive using a computer & a USB cable!

No problem! Also, if you need a program to play the audio file on the computer, I typically recommend VLC media player. It's open source/free, and works with a ton of different audio/video files

Just want to add that if I’m not mistaken, iOS saves them via iCloud as long as they have been backed up via normal backup. My only source is me at the moment

I could definitely see that being the case but I haven't owned an iOS device in nearly a decade so I couldn't confirm or deny it

You can also run an audio cable to your PC and use voice recording software to save a file to your PC and cloud accounts.

I believe you can do the same w/ a bluetooth connection, but I haven't personally tried that method.
