Which would suggest that VoIP voicemail is caught - being both "over the 
Internet" and a "stored message".

But my VoIP provider is not my connectivity ISP - so does that VoIP 
provider have to keep my logs (assuming they've had a notice from the 
Home Office)?

He *is* a provider of (public) communications services, but 12(2) seems 
tautological for Internet Telephony when I'm initiating the call because 
the "subscriber or registered user" details (me making a VoIP call) are 
already covered by 11(3), and the destination details are already 
covered in 12(1).
