Yes, I kinda miss this from the iPhone
Is there something similar for the N4?

Youmail, Google Voice, search the Play Store, etc.

I don't know why they call it that...

With traditional voicemail, you have to call a number (sometimes your own, sometimes a number provided by your carrier; it is often setup as a speeddial number like "1") and go through a series of prompts to listen to your messages. Typically in the order in which they were received.

A Visual Voicemail app automatically downloads your waiting messages as simple audio files and prompts you (with a system notification) when one or more are available. You open the app, choose which voicemails to listen to - in any order - which to delete, forward, save, and so on. You can even forward a voicemail via MMS or email to yourself or anyone you choose.

I have AT&T and using my sim from my iPhone 4S into my Nexus 4 and no change to the Iphone 4S data plan which has visual voicemail...
With that said, following a forum members advice, I d/l and installed google voice and set to handle my voicemail for my mobile number.
Now when people call and no answer, it will go to my google voicemail and it will be accessible through the stock phone app showing up in recent calls and I can listen to it.
Or I can go to the google voice app and see my voicemails and listen or I can have them emailed and translated into text.

Google Voice is not available for us Canadians, so that is not an option. Tried Youmail and would not connect. Must be an incompatability issue with Rogers??

That's a carrier function, not a phone function. If your carrier has Visual Voicemail app then any customer of theirs can use it.
