3A. Sprint Service: The Basics 165
Sprint Service
Checking for Voicemail Messages While
Roaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint
Network, you may not receive on-device 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 your area code + your phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting,
tap .
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.
Setting Roam Mode
Your device allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you
can determine which signals your device accepts.
Choose from two different settings on your dual-band
phone to control your roaming experience.
1. Press > .
2. Tap Settings > Wireless & networks >
Mobile networks.
3. Tap Roaming.
Ⅲ Sprint Only to access only the Sprint network and
prevent roaming on other networks.
Ⅲ Automatic to seek service on the Nationwide
Sprint Network. When Sprint service is
unavailable, the device searches for an alternate
system.
Call Guard
Your device 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.)
