I don't think there's an app for that, and probably couldn't be for the 
same reason there really can't be a phone app to do conditional call 
forwarding:  It's handled by the carrier, not the phone.

With VM, though, it's more involved, because the app would need to 
identify the remote voice mail system and properly delete/cancel the 
message that was being left.
