LOL, just the opposite issue here.
4 messages currently showing in visual voice mail (none in deleted).
Only 3 messages available for playback via manual voice mail.

The only time I ever didnt get voicemails was when I was jailbroken...neer had a problem any other time including now...
I don't think that it has anything specifically to do with being Jailbroken. Mine has been working fine so far since I cleared the messages in both the at&t system and on the iPhone itself. I have been Jailbroken since it was first possible, and Voicemails were working fine as of about 2 weeks ago (the last message in the list was from August 7th). The oldest new message that wasn't delivered to the iPhone on the at&t system was only a few days old, so I'm not sure at what point it actually "broke"...
History of what I tried:
I had previously reset network settings, but not reset all settings. Maybe that would have cleared the voicemails and fixed it as well? I also tried resetting th password both via the iPhone Settings.app as well as through 611's automated system. However, through the automated system, it changed it to a temp password that was SMS'd to me, and on the iPhone when going into Voicemail tab, it asked me to set it up as if it were a new Voicemail account, never asking for the temp password but instead having me create a new password and set up the greeting. A bit odd, but afterwards it still didn't work until I cleared the old messages off the iPhone.

Ok... My wife's message never came through, I deleted all messages both by dialing in and in VVM... Restarted my phone and everything appears to be working normally... almost as if VVM won't work unless its in sync with the message server...
However my wife just mentioned to me that she had done the same thing last week and it worked for a few days then crapped out again. While my fingers are crossed, I'll be dialing in after every missed call for a while.
A lot of things can interfere with Visual VM since it is downloaded as data. If you are in a weak signal area, or the signal was interrupted during the download, the VM could be (significantly) delayed.
I used to have issues with Visual VM when connected to our office wifi. The VM download was being blocked by the firewall.
BTW - AFAIK, I have never missed a VM, but have had them delayed by several hours.

I had 8 missed calls. Not cool when you are an emergency on-call supervisor 
I tried deleting all of the old messages and this worked for me. VVM now up and running after multiple tests before deleting the messages and multiple tests after deleting old messages.

My voicemails had not been showing up and my phone said it was unavailable. Also was showing "No Service", when I should have service at this location (my house). After an hour long troubleshooting call with AT&T, they suggested I get the sim card replaced. Seems to be working correctly after doing this, but shall see how long it lasts.
I had this happen once and turning the phone off/on made the messages come in and it hasn't happened since. I'm on AT&T.
I get "No Service" when not using Wifi, so I reboot my iPhone 4 or turn Airplane Mode on and off. This forces the phone to find a network and sometimes it does, while other times it doesn't. Either way, the cell connection doesn't last long before losing it again. During this all this I can still make phone calls but not use the Internet and Voicemail is unavailable.
I had my local Apple store replace my iPhone 4 under the 30 day warranty. They seemed to have heard about my problem and quickly issued me a brand new iPhone 4. I also picked up the family pack of moible me. Now my 3G network is back and so are my voicemails, all it good again!
ive reset the network settings for my iphone 4 and it still doesnt fix visual vmail. had this problem with my 3g. any ideas? should i just take it to apple or att?
Just checked and no missed voicemails for me on AT&T although the call did drop while listening to all the instructions.
