Hi Lindawei,
Even if somebody leaves you a voicemail, I believe that that counts towards your minutes. I am not sure if there is a workaround to this (e.g. disable voicemail, if possible?). I would certainly message a member of the moderator team to discuss this, however.
I think if you turn off the forwarding when unreachable as @LEGO suggested, the phone will just ring until such time as the person on the other end gives up, so there's no possibility for someone to leave you a message, nor for the call to get forwarded to your voicemail at all.
I'm not sure if it's the forwarding of the call that dings you some airtime from the tiny 50 mins, or if it's the person leaving you a message that does it. If the forward itself doesn't cost you, then another option would be to set an extended absence greeting as I detailed here. The advantage to that technique is you can instruct your callers in an alternate way to reach you such as asking them to text you (though since inbound texts count toward the limited 50 in the $10 plan this may not be a great choice) or send you an email, etc.
