Voicemail

Tip

 

To receive voicemail messages, you must first set up

 

 

your voicemail box.

 

 

 

 

 

If you are bringing your phone number from another

 

 

carrier, we suggest you set up your voicemail box

 

 

after the number you brought to Nextel is active on

 

 

your Nextel phone and your temporary phone

 

 

number is deactivated. If you set up your voicemail

 

 

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 Voicemail Box

Using your Motorola Debut i856 phone, dial your ten- digit Nextel Personal Telephone Number (PTN). For example: 7035557777. Follow the system instructions to create a new four- to seven-digit password, record your name, and record a greeting. When the system says, “Thank you for using Nextel Voicemail,” your mailbox is set up.

If you are setting up your voicemail from a phone other than your Motorola Debut i856, dial your ten-digit Nextel PTN. When you hear the greeting, press * to access your voicemail box. The system will prompt you to enter your password. Enter the last seven digits of your Nextel PTN. For example: 5557777. This is your temporary password. Follow the system instructions to complete your mailbox setup.

You are in the main voicemail menu when you hear the voicemail system options.

For details on using your voicemail, follow the audio prompts provided by the voicemail system.

Playing Messages

When you receive a new voicemail message, you can either listen to it immediately by pressing Call (left softkey), or later by pressing Back (right softkey).

To listen to your voicemail messages after dismissing the onscreen prompt, press / > Messages>VoiceMail. You will be connected to your voicemail box.
