Nextel Voice Mail

Note: If you are bringing your phone number from another carrier, we suggest you set up your Voice Mail box after the number you brought to Nextel is active on your Nextel device and your temporary phone number is deactivated. If you set up your Voice Mail box prior to this, all messages and all settings (including your greeting and password) will be lost when the number you have brought to Nextel becomes active.

Setting Up Your Voice Mail Box

1.Using your BlackBerry device, dial your 10-digit Nextel Personal Telephone Number (PTN). For example: 7035557777.

Note: Your initial password defaults to the last seven digits of your phone number, for example: 5557777.

2.Follow the system instructions to:

•Create a new 4- to 7-digit password

•Record your name

•Record a greeting

•When the system says Thank you for using Nextel Voice Mail, your mailbox is set up.

Note: If you are calling from a phone other than your BlackBerry device, dial your 10-digit PTN. When you hear the greeting, press the star key (*) to access your Voice Mail box. The system will prompt you to Enter your password. Enter the last seven digits of your PTN. For example: 5557777. This is your temporary password.

Recording Your Active Greeting

With Nextel Voice Mail service there are a number of ways in which people can reach you. You may want to include one or all of the following options in your greeting so that callers will know you are available.

•Press 1 to send a numeric message.

•Press 2 to send an operator-assisted message. (This option is available only if you are a subscriber of Operator Assisted Messaging. Contact Nextel Customer Care for more information.)
