Using Your Phone 39
Listening to Voicemails
When your voicemail box receives a voicemail, your operator will give
you a call or send you an SMS alert (i.e. a text message), in order to
notify you of this new voicemail. (if the network vendor supports it, the
icon will be shown in the standby screen's status bar.)
Depending on how you are notified, there are two ways to access and
listen to the voicemail:
1. If your operator sends you an SMS alert to inform you of a new
voicemail, and the text of the SMS alert sent by your operator
matches the text of the SMS alert previously stored in your phone--
this is called
Alert Match--your phone will recognize this SMS alert
as a reminder of the new voicemail. Press to dial the voicemail
box number to listen to the voice mail.
To successfully use the Alert Match feature, you must first save your
operator's SMS alert. Please do so in the menu option: Messages >
Voicemail
> Settings > Alert Match.
2. If the text of the operator's SMS alert does not match the text of the
SMS alert stored in the
Alert Match option, or if your operator calls
to inform you of a new voicemail, long-press from the standby
The rationale of the Alert Match feature is that, once you have
received an SMS alert from your operator saying that you have a
waiting voicemail, you can directly press to listen to the
voicemail, instead of having to return to the standby screen to dial
your voicemail box number individually.
