Are there any visual voicemail apps for Android that don't require Google Play Services? #LineageOS (beehaw.org)

Those who are using Android ROMs without Google play services installed: Do you know any visual voicemail apps that work without Google Play Services? I tried the app 'My Visual Voicemail' but it wouldn't work. Though it seems to see all my voicemails when I open the app, a popup comes up saying the app requires Google Play Services and refuses to play the voicemails. I was also going to try 'Boost Visual Voicemail' (my carrier), but I wasn't able to find the .apk file through the usual channels (apkmirror.com, https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/). I didn't see anything relevant in F-Droid either.

TIA!

Install microG4Lineage. This is a ROM that is simply LineageOS with microG already installed for you. It mimics Google Play Services. My experience is that it just works.

I'm hoping to stick with vanilla LineageOS.
