You have to set it up. Remember, you deleted all settings.

Settings > Phone > Voicemail

Reset all settings is located at Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
This might be a dumb question, but if you do this you're not going to get rid of your contact list and/or pictures would you?

Contacts and pictures are synced from the Mac just like music.

There are a number of these products available on the market,

Griffin Technology's Power Reserve products
Mophie's JuicePack, etc.

The thing to look for in one of these products is that it is Works With iPhone certified, and that the battery is UL and UNDOT certified. Batteries can be explosive, containing large amounts of potential energy in an itty-bitty living space.

There's no indication in the page that you linked to that the product contains any of those labels. Avoid it like the plague.
