How can a visual voicemail be saved off of a phone & backed up to the cloud?

[Android Central Question]

A close friend who recently lost her father wants to preserve the last ever voicemail he sent her. She needs a way to retrieve it off of her Galaxy S8+ as well as a second phone she has it on. I’m afraid I’m of very little help to her as I use an iPhone. I’m sure there must be some way with an app or function on the phone itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

By default, the voicemail message is NOT saved to the phone, but stays on the carrier's server (for a limited amount of time).

From the Visual Voicemail app:
- find the desired message
- save it to the phone
(Pay attention to which folder they are saved to.)
The files may be stored in a format other than MP3. That can be fixed later.

Now that the file(s) are on the phone, the files can be copied to a computer like any other file and/or copied to a file service sharing folder on the phone (dropbox, google drive, Microsoft One Drive) for storing in the "cloud".
