Voicemail
Setting Up Your Voicemail Box
Using your Motorola Debut i856 phone, dial your ten-
digit Nextel Personal Telephone Number (PTN). For
example: 7035557777. Follow the system instructions
to create a new four- to seven-digit password, record
your name, and record a greeting. When the system
says, “Thank you for using Nextel Voicemail,” your
mailbox is set up.
If you are setting up your voicemail from a phone other
than your Motorola Debut i856, dial your ten-digit
Nextel PTN. When you hear the greeting, press * to
access your voicemail box. The system will prompt you
to enter your password. Enter the last seven digits of
your Nextel PTN. For example: 5557777. This is your
temporary password. Follow the system instructions to
complete your mailbox setup.
You are in the main voicemail menu when you hear the
voicemail system options.
For details on using your voicemail, follow the audio
prompts provided by the voicemail system.
Playing Messages
ᮣ When you receive a new voicemail message, you
can either listen to it immediately by pressing
Call
(left softkey), or later by pressing
Back (right
softkey).
ᮣ To listen to your voicemail messages after
dismissing the onscreen prompt, press /

Messages > Voice Mail. You will be connected to your
voicemail box.
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.
