As much as I'm loathe to say good things about Google, I replaced my cellphone in the fall with a Pixel 5. It's pretty dang good.

Without knowing what you consider a budget buster, let me suggest a Pixel 5a. The voicemail icon is on the always-on display and IIRC the number that called you displays on the lock screen (if you enable lock screen notifications). If you can spring for a Pixel 6, you get the voicemail transcription on the lock screen.

If you're thinking of a glowing "you have voicemail" LED indicator, I don't know that phones really do that anymore.
