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 is able to access your voicemail messages.
Voicemail Notification
There are several ways your phone alerts you to a new voicemail message.
n
By sounding the assigned ringer type.

By displaying within the Notifications area of the Status Bar when new unheard voicemail
messages are received.
Note
: When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network, you may not receive notification of
new voicemail messages. Sprint recommends that you periodically check your voicemail by dialing 1
