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

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!

Will add to this: Backup your voicemails to a secondary or even tertiary location. Voicemails on mobile devices are saved by default to cloud storage. When my wife & I changed carriers from Verizon to Cricket we hadn't saved her voicemails, and Verizon deleted those voicemails immediately after we changed providers, so my wife lost her voicemails, including ones from several close relatives who had passed.

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
