Setting Up Voice Mail

Using Text Messaging
Text messaging is already active on your phone, and any messages you receive are FREE. This is means you’re able to receive text messages from other wireless callers as well as info alerts for free from sites such as CNN.com, and the Weather Channel. PC users can also send emails (150 character maximum) to your phone using your 10-digit telephone number@gocbw.com as the email address. To illustrate, the format of your address looks something like this:
5135551212@gocbw.com.
To respond to text messages, it’s just a dime per message that you send, or you can get a money-saving text messaging plan if you become a frequent user. To switch to a text messaging plan at any time, simply call #TXT from your wireless phone and add the service using our automated ordering line.
Note: If you’re sending a message to a stored contact, the wireless number must contain 10 digits for the message to be sent successfully.

Email Service Overview
Email
To access your email, select the “Email” menu option within the Cincinnati Bell Wireless Internet services home page on your phone. You will see two options: 1) My Email or 2) Other Email
My Email
If you are an existing Cincinnati Bell email subscriber (Fuse, Zoomtown, etc.) you can receive your Fuse or Zoomtown email directly on your handset, using the same email box, same passwords, etc.
Setting up “My Email”
The directions will vary for those with and those without an existing Cincinnati Bell email box (Fuse, ZoomTown, etc).

• Select “My Email”. You will be asked: “Are you an existing Cincinnati Bell email (fuse.net, zoomtown.com) customer”
• Select “No” and the following will appear: “Set up your email address and password so you can take advantage of Fuse email while you’re on the go”. Select “OK”
• Next you will choose a user name and a password.

Use this option if you have email with a different provider (than Cincinnati Bell), or you wish to check a secondary Cincinnati Bell email account (up to 5 secondary email boxes besides the primary set up in “My Email can be accessed).
Select the “Other Email” option, choose from one of the available options (Yahoo, MSN, etc.), and enter your email address and password. If your email service is not listed, visit your email provider’s website using the “go to” option and enter your Username and Password. If you have difficulty accessing your other email, contact your email provider for assistance.
Protecting Your Phone From Unauthorized Use
To protect your phone from unauthorized use, just follow these simple steps. Once activated, your phone will require the user to enter a password each time it’s turned on.
• Go to Menu > Phone Settings > Security > SIM Lock
• To turn your PIN code request on, you will be prompted to enter a 4 to 8 digit phone code (that you create)
• Call Cincinnati Bell Customer Care at 1-888-391-3925 to obtain a PIN/PUK code to enter at the prompt.
Note: You will have 10 chances to correctly enter this code. If you incorrectly enter it 10 times, you will see “SIM Blocked” and should visit your nearest Cincinnati Bell Wireless location to purchase a new SIM card.
