150 Section 3A. Service Features: The Basics
If you are not on a phone call when you receive a
message, your phone sounds a notification tone every
30 seconds until you access the message, you dismiss
the notification, or the alert time-out expires.
When you are on a phone call, you can receive
message notifications for all types of messages except
MMS messages. For other types of messages, your
phone may sound a notification tone during the call or
after you end the call, depending on how you set your
notification options.
For information on notification options, see “Setting
Message Notification” on page 72

Voicemail
Note
To access voicemail for the first time, you must dial
into your voicemail box using your PTN (your wireless
phone number). If there is already a message in your
voicemail box, then you can access your voicemail
through the message center.
Tip
To receive voicemail messages, you must first set up
your voicemail box.
If you are bringing your phone number from another
carrier, we suggest you set up your voicemail box
after the number you brought to Nextel is active on
your Nextel phone and your temporary phone
number is deactivated. If you set up your voicemail
box prior to this, all messages and all settings
(including your greeting and password) will be lost
when the number you have brought to Nextel
becomes active.
