Voicemail Password
—Sprint strongly recommends that you create a password when
setting up your voicemail to protect against unauthorized access. Without a password, anyone
who has access to your phone can access your voicemail messages.
Voicemail Notification
There are several ways your phone alerts you to a new message.
●
By sounding the notification ringtone.
●
By displaying
in the Notifications area of the Status bar when a new voicemail
message is received.
●
By displaying the number of new voicemail message(s) on the Voicemail app icon.
Note
: Your phone accepts voicemail even when it is turned off. However, your phone only
notifies you of new messages when it is turned on and you are in a Sprint service area. When
you are outside the Nationwide Sprint Network, you may not receive notification of new
voicemail messages. Sprint recommends that you periodically check your voicemail by dialing 1
+ area code + your wireless phone number. Roaming rates apply when you access voicemail
while outside the Nationwide Sprint Network.
