Looking for a voicemail/answering service for business

I am starting a e-commerce business and most of my business will be web/email based but like any business I also want to have a phone number. Since I work from home as well as frequently on the road I want to avoid using my home/mobile number as well as getting a second office phone.
My preference is to get some type of voicemail/answering service. I am talking about something where I can put the phone number on my business card and if people call they simply get my voicemail and can leave a message. I would check in frequently on a daily basis to retrieve voicemails so I can return calls. Does anyone have a good service like this that they suggest?
