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, press and enter your passcode. Roaming rates apply when you
access voicemail while roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network.
Your device accepts messages even when it is turned off. However, your device notifies you of new messages only
when it is turned on and you are in a Sprint service area.
Tip: When you call voicemail from another phone, you first hear the header information (date, time, and sender information)
for the message. To skip directly to the message, tap during the header.
