Listening to a voicemail
When your voicemail box receives a voicemail, your operator gives you a
call or sends you an SMS alert (i.e. a text message) to remind you of the
waiting voicemail.

You can ask your operator to alert you to a waiting voicemail
either by a telephone call or by a text message. Please go to
menu:
Message
→
Voice Mail
→
Voicemail Settings
. However,
some operators do not allow users to choose how to be alerted.
Depending on how you are alerted, you can respond to the waiting
voicemail in one of the following scenarios:
1. If your operator sends you an SMS alert to inform you of a waiting
voicemail, and the text of the SMS alert sent by your operator matches
the text of the SMS alert previously stored in your phone--this is called
Alert Match
--your phone will recognize this SMS alert as a reminder of
a new voicemail and the voicemail icon (
) will appear on the
display. To listen to the voicemail, simply press
and your phone
will automatically dial the voicemail box number for you.

To successfully use the Alert Match feature, you must save your
operator’s SMS alert in advance. Please do so in the menu
option:
Messages
→
Voice Mail
→
Voicemail Settings
→
Alert
Match
.
/
The rationale of the
Alert Match
feature is that, once you’ve got
an SMS alert from your operator saying that you have a waiting
voicemail, you can press
directly to listen to the voicemail,
instead of having to return to the idle display to dial your
voicemail box number digit by digit.
