Note Voicemail Passcode

If you are concerned about unauthorized access to your voicemail account, Sprint recommends that you enable your voicemail passcode. (Do not activate One-Touch Message Access.)

Voicemail Notification

There are several ways your phone alerts you to a new message:

By displaying a message on the screen.

By sounding the assigned ringer type.

New Voicemail Message Alerts

When you receive a new voice message, your phone alerts you and prompts you to call your voicemail.

To call your voicemail:

Press and hold .

To display your Missed Log:

Press twice to access the Missed Alerts screen.

Note		When you are roaming off the Sprint National 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
		wireless phone number. When your voicemail answers,
		press (*) and enter your passcode. You will be charged
		roaming rates when accessing voicemail while
		roaming off the network.

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