There are several ways your phone alerts you to a new voicemail message.
● By sounding the assigned ringer type.
● By displaying within the notifications area of the status bar when new unheard
voicemail message(s) is received. The figure is the number of new messages. This icon
means you have ten unheard new messages.
Note:
Note:
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network, you may not receive
notification of new voicemail messages. Sprint recommends that you periodically check
your voicemail by dialing 1 + area code + your wireless phone number. When your
voicemail answers, touch and enter your password. Roaming rates apply when you
access voicemail while roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network.
Your phone accepts messages even when it is turned off. However, your phone notifies
you of new messages only when it is turned on and you are in a Sprint service area.

A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device

Page 56
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your
TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device
will connect using a special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not
provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the
connector cable.
When establishing your Sprint service, please call Sprint Customer Service using the state
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing . Then provide the
