Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint National Network, you may not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1.Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.

2.When you hear your voicemail greeting, press *.

3.Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.
