OK, so they're not voicemail messages in the conventional sense, but FB 
Messenger messages. The fact that you can still listen to them indicates 
that they must be stored *somewhere* - either on the phone itself or in 
some cloud or other. Do you need internet access in order to be able to 
listen to the messages? If so, they'll be on a cloud - if not, they'll 
be on the phone. If the latter, they'll be in a folder where FB 
Messenger stores its files. If so, you may be able to copy them to a 
computer, using FTP or a USB cable. However, they may well be in a 
proprietory audio format which no other sofware understands - so that 
may not help a lot.

Does the phone have a headphone socket? If so, the best bet may be to 
'listen' via that socket, using a cable to connect the socket to a 
computer's audio input socket, and then to record the audio using 
Audacity or similar. [With the correct audio settings on the computer, 
you'll be able to hear the messages as you record them]. If the phone 
doesn't have a headphone socket, you may be able to use Bluetooth instead.
