Visual Voicemail

Visual Voicemail gives you a quick and easy way to access your voicemail. Now you can find exactly the message you are looking for without having to listen to every voicemail message first. This new feature periodically goes out to your voicemail, and gathers the caller information from all of the current voicemails. It then populates a list with the caller name and number, along with the length of time and priority level of the voicemail message.

Voicemail Notification

There are a couple of different 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:
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.
Note:
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 that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone.
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 state TRS with this number:

Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some communications unintelligible.

Group Connect

A Group Connect call is a Direct Connect call made to up to 20 Direct Connect users with Sprint phones nationwide at one time.
You can make a Group Connect call in several different ways:
● By setting up a group entry in Contact on your phone.
● By using the Sprint Mobile Sync tool at sprint.com. See Sprint Mobile Sync.
● By selecting or entering multiple numbers for a one-time call.
For information on creating groups and storing them in Contacts, see Add a Group Connect
Contact.
Important:
Make Group Connect Calls Group Connect Call Information
When making a Group Connect call or creating a group list for Group Connect
calls in Contacts, you must select an entry’s Direct Connect–capable number. If you select a number that is not Direct Connect–capable, the name will be added to the list, but Group Connect calls will not go through to that group member.

TeamDC

TeamDC lets Direct Connect users make group calls to up to 200 other users nationwide. With TeamDC, any Direct Connect or Sprint user can create a TeamDC group online, which the system then automatically pushes to all the group members’ phones. Once a user creates and distributes a TeamDC group, any member of the group can make a TeamDC call to the entire group. If the user who created the group makes any changes to the group, the system automatically sends updates to the members’ phones.
The TeamDC feature supports group calls only with Direct Connect users with Sprint
Note:
phones. You cannot include users with Nextel phones in TeamDC groups.
