Important:
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.
●
By sounding the assigned ringer type.
●
By displaying
within the Notifications area of the Status bar when multiple new
unheard voicemail messages have been 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 + area code + your wireless phone number. When your
voicemail answers, touch and enter your password. Roaming rates apply when you
access voicemail while roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network.
Note:
Your phone accepts messages even when it is turned off. However, your phone notifies
you of new messages only when it is turned on and you are in a Sprint service area.
Retrieve Your Voicemail Messages
You can review your messages directly from your wireless phone or from any other touch-tone
phone.
