Checking for Voicemail Messages While
Roaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint

new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave
messages, but you will need to periodically check your
voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming
service area for an extended period of time.
1. Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press
.
3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the
voice prompts.
When you return to the Nationwide Sprint Network,
v
oicemail notification will resume as normal.

Your phone allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you
can determine which signals your phone accepts.

ttings on your dual-band
phone to control your roaming experience.

Call Guard
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network: the
onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard
makes it easy to manage your roaming by requiring an
extra step before you can place or answer a roaming
call. (This additional step is not required when you
make or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint
Network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Press > Settings > Others > Roaming > Call
