Nextel® Voice Mail

Note: To receive voice mail messages, you must first set up your voice mail box.

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 Smartphone 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

Using your i920/i930 phone, dial your 10-digit Nextel Personal Telephone Number (PTN). For example: 7035557777. Follow the system instructions to create a new 4- to 7- digit password, record your name, and record a greeting. When the system says, “Thank you for using Nextel Voice Mail,” your mail box is set up.

If you are calling from a phone other than your i920/i930 phone, dial your 10-digit Nextel PTN. When you hear the greeting, press * to access your voice mail box. The system will prompt you to enter your password. Enter the last 7 digits of your Nextel PTN. For example: 5557777. This is your temporary password.

You are in the main voice mail menu when you hear the options listed below.

To play your messages, press 1. (This option plays only if you have new or saved messages.)

To record a message, press 2.

To change your greeting, press 3.

To access your personal options, press 4.

If you press * while you are in a sub-menu, you will go to the previous menu. If you press **, you will go to the main voice mail menu. From the main voice mail menu, press # to exit voice mail. At any time, you may end the call by pressing e.

Accessing Your Voice Mail Box

There are several ways to access your voice mail box:

Use speed dial 1.

I920, I930 specifications

Nextel Communications, once a major player in the wireless telecom industry, introduced a range of innovative devices that catered to the needs of both personal and business users. Among them, the Nextel i930 and i920 stand out as significant models that combined features of traditional mobile phones with push-to-talk (PTT) capabilities.

The Nextel i930 was released as a flip phone, boasting a sleek design that appealed to style-conscious consumers. One of its standout features was the integrated PTT functionality, allowing users to connect instantly with others on their network. This feature was particularly popular among business users who valued quick communication over traditional voice calls. The i930 supported a wide range of Nextel services, including Direct Connect, which enabled users to reach others with just a push of a button, making it an invaluable tool for teams on the move.

On the other hand, the Nextel i920 catered to a similar demographic but in a slightly different form factor. This model featured a candy-bar design, providing a more compact option for those who preferred a straightforward layout. Both devices were equipped with a robust set of features, including a color display, camera capabilities, and various multimedia functions. The i920 also supported messaging services, allowing users to send and receive text messages, thus enhancing its versatility.

In terms of technology, both phones operated on the iDEN network, known for its reliability and extensive coverage at the time. The iDEN technology blended digital voice and data, allowing for seamless communication and efficient use of bandwidth. Users could enjoy enhanced voice clarity and an unparalleled connection quality, making it a preferred choice for those in remote areas.

Battery life was another critical characteristic of both models. The i930 and i920 were designed to provide long-lasting power, enabling users to stay connected throughout their busy days without frequent recharging. Additionally, these devices featured rugged designs suitable for various work environments, aligning with Nextel's image as a provider for professionals in demanding fields.

In summary, the Nextel i930 and i920 encapsulated the essence of Nextel's commitment to blending functionality with style. Their PTT capabilities revolutionized communication methods for many, while their durable designs and robust feature sets solidified their status as essential tools for professionals. Even today, these devices serve as reminders of a time when instantaneous communication was becoming increasingly vital in both personal and professional spheres.
