For more information about using your voicemail, see
“Using Voicemail” on page 130.
Voicemail Notification
There are several ways your phone alerts you to a new
message:
By displaying a message on the screen.
By sounding the assigned ringer type.
By displaying at the top of your screen.
Sending an Incoming Call to Voicemail
Press Ignore (right softkey).
Retrieving Your Voicemail Messages
You can review your messages directly from your
wireless phone or from any other touch-tone phone. To
dial from your wireless phone, you can either speed
dial your voicemail or use the menu keys.
Note Voicemail Passcode
If you are concerned about unauthorized access to
your voicemail account, Sprint recommends that you
enable your voicemail passcode. (Do not activate
One-Touch Message Access.)
Note When you are roaming off the network, you may not
receive notification of new voicemail messages. It is
recommended that you periodically check your
voicemail by dialing 1 + area code + your phone
number. When your voicemail answers, press * and
enter your passcode. You will be charged roaming
rates when accessing voicemail while roaming off
the Sprint National Network.
Your phone accepts messages even when it is
turned off. However, you are only notified of new
messages when your phone is turned on and you
are in a Sprint service area.
