Using Voicemail

Setting Up Your Voicemail

All unanswered phone calls to your phone are automatically transferred to your voicemail, even if your phone is in use or turned off. Therefore, you want to set up your voicemail and personal greeting as soon as your phone is activated. If you need to set up your voicemail, see “Setting Up Your Voicemail” on page 4.

Voicemail Notification

Your phone alerts you to a new voicemail message in several ways:

By displaying a notification on the screen.

By sounding the assigned ringer type.

By displaying at the top of your screen.

Note: When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, you may not receive notification of new voicemail messages. It is recommended that you periodically check your voicemail by dialing 1 + area code + your phone number. When your voicemail answers, press (*) and enter your passcode. You will be charged roaming rates when accessing voicemail while roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.

Your phone accepts messages even when it is turned off. However, you are only notified of new messages when your phone is turned on and you are in a Sprint service area.
