Using Voicemail
Setting Up Your Voicemail
All unanswered calls to your phone are automatically 
transferred to your voicemail, even if your phone is in use or 
turned off. Therefore, you will want to set up your Sprint PCS 
Voicemail and personal greeting as soon as your phone is 
activated. If you need to set up your voicemail, see “Setting 
Up Your Voicemail” on page 4.
Voicemail Notification
There are several ways your phone alerts you to a new 
message:
By displaying a message on the screen.
By sounding the assigned ringer type.
By displaying 
 at the top of your screen.
Note:
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS 
Network, you may not receive notification of new voicemail 
messages. It is recommended that you periodically check your 
voicemail by dialing 
1 + area code + your phone number. 
When your voicemail answers, press 
* and enter your 
passcode. You will be charged roaming rates when accessing 
voicemail while roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS 
Network.
Your phone accepts messages even when it is turned off. 
However, you are only notified of new messages when your 
phone is turned on and you are in a Sprint service area.
