Call History and Voicemails are not likely to make a dent in your storage availability. What Recommendations do you have at Settings > General > iPhone Storage and what are the top consumers of that storage?

Voicemails are stored on your carrier's servers, not on your phone so it's not going to make any difference to your phone's storage if you delete them.
