Checking for Voicemail Messages While 
Roaming

When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint 
Network, you may not receive on-phone notification of 
new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave 
messages, but you will need to periodically check your 
voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming 
service area for an extended period of time.

1.

Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.

2.

When you hear your voicemail greeting, press 

.

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.

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

Choose from three different settings on your dual-band 
phone to control your roaming experience.

1.

Press

 

 > Settings > Others > Roaming > Set

Automatic

 to seek service on the Nationwide 

Sprint Network. When Sprint service is 
unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate 
system.

 to access only the Sprint network and 

prevent roaming on other networks.

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are 
roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network: the 
onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard 
makes it easy to manage your roaming by requiring an 
extra step before you can place or answer a roaming 
call. (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
