Clean it up, use much more white space:

#Vonage stuff
   :0
    * ^From:(_dot_)*14095551212(_at_)vm\(_dot_)vonage\(_dot_)com
    * ! ^X-loop: gvl2(_at_)example\(_dot_)tld
    {
        :0
        * B ?? Date:\/.* [AP]M
        { VMDATE = "Date- $MATCH" }

        :0
        * B ?? From:\/.*\)
        { VMFROM = "From- $MATCH" }

        :0c hi
        | (echo "Subject: Voicemail";\
           echo $VMDATE;\
           echo $VMFROM;\
          )|$SENDMAIL -oi 4095552121(_at_)messaging(_dot_)sprintpcs(_dot_)com
    }

You are sending the full message into that pipe, but the message is not
used.

Example:
  echo "abc" | echo "xyz"
will echo only "xyz", so the "abc" got lost.

Either use the VAR = `command` format, or just send on average as little
as possible (h-flag) and use the i-flag.

See `man procmailrc` for $SENDMAIL and $SENDMAILFLAGS.
