Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS 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:

Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone Number.

When you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.
