How to read voice mails programmatically in Android

Just wonder whether it's possible to access phone's voice mail box using code?

I have seen in Android 4.0, Google has introduce a new content provider called "android.provider.VoicemailContract.Voicemails" but I want to do this on older versions of Android? Is it possible at all ?

No, because each network operator/phone manufacturer handles voicemail differently. In many cases, there won't even be any app on the phone that knows about individual voice messages. The best you can do is create a PhoneStateListener to listen for LISTEN_MESSAGE_WAITING_INDICATOR, which lets you read the message waiting indicator flag sent by the network operator (answers the question "Are there any new voice messages?").
