Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

3.Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.

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

Setting Roam Mode

Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.

1.Press > Settings > Others > Roaming > Set Mode.

2.Highlight an option and press .

Sprint Only to access only the Sprint network and prevent roaming on other networks.

Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network: the onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard.

(This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint Network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1.Press > Settings > Others > Roaming > Call Guard.
