Setting Up Voicemail
Tip:
When you are roaming off
the Sprint PCS Network,
you may not receive
notification of new
voicemail messages. It is
recommended that you
periodically check your
voicemail by dialing 1 +
area code + your phone
Number.
The first thing you’ll want to do after activating your phone is
set up your voicemail. The voicemail option allows others to
leave messages when your phone is turned OFF, you are out of
your coverage area, when you choose not to answer a call, or
when there is no signal. (For more information, see "Setting
Up Your Voicemail" on page 38.)

messages,

Sprint PCS Web Alerts.
If a text message is too long, you can use the scroll bars to
