messages. It is recommended that you periodically check your voicemail by dialing 1 + area code + your wireless
phone number. When your voicemail answers, touch and enter your passcode. You will be charged
roaming rates when accessing voicemail while roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network.
Your device accepts messages even when it is turned off. However, you are notified of new messages only when
your device is turned on and you are in a Sprint service area.
