Setting Up Your Voicemail
All unanswered calls to your phone are automatically transferred to your
voicemail, even if your phone is in use or turned off. Therefore, you will want
to set up your voicemail and personal greeting as soon as your phone is
activated.
To set up your voicemail:
1. From standby mode, press and hold .
2. Follow the system prompts to:
Create your passcode.
Record your name announcement.
Record your greeting.
Choose whether to activate One-Touch Message Access (a
feature that lets you access messages simply by pressing and
holding , bypassing the need for you to enter your
passcode).
For more information about using your voicemail, see “Using Voicemail” on
page 165.
Note:
Voicemail Passcode
If you are concerned about unauthorized access to your voicemail
account, Qwest recommends that you enable your voicemail passcode
(do not activate One-Touch Message Access).
Section 1A: Setting Up Service 5
Account Passwords
As a Qwest customer, you enjoy unlimited access to your personal account
information, your voicemail account, and your Sprint Vision account. To
ensure that no one else has access to your information, you will need to

Service. Your default account password is the last four digits of your Social
Security number.
Voicemail Password
You’ll create your voicemail password (or passcode) when you set up your
voicemail. See “Setting Up Your Voicemail” on page 4 for more information
on your voicemail password.

WARNING
911 Emergency Calling
Qwest recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by
other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services
(TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY
calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public safety
answering points (PSAPs), rendering some communications
unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been
brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and
the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Using Data Roam Guard (page 86)
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the home network. Your new SCP-7050 by SANYO works anywhere on
the home network and allows you to roam on 1900 and 800 MHz digital
networks.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that
let you manage your roaming experience.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 83
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the
home network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming
icon ( ).
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will
be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the home network.
However, you may not be able to access certain features, depending on the
available network.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the home network, you may not receive on-phone
notification of 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.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
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.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the home network , your call is dropped.
If your call is dropped in an area where you think network service is
available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the network.
Tip:
Remember, when you are using your phone off the home network, always
dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
