Setting Up Voicemail
The first thing you’ll want to do after activating your phone
is set up your voicemail (see page 5 for instructions).
Knowing When You Have Messages
There are several ways your Sprint PCS Phone alerts you:
By displaying a message on the screen.
By sounding the assigned ringer type.
By the LED blinking red.
By displaying
at the top of your screen for voicemail
messages, Sprint PCS Web Messages, Sprint PCS Web Alerts
or numeric pages.
Message Types
There are three types of messaging features available from
your Sprint PCS Phone’s menu. You can receive voicemail,
Sprint PCS Web Messages and Sprint PCS Web Alerts as long
as your phone has enough memory locations to store them.
Voicemail
automatically captures calls when you can’t
answer your phone or it is turned off. The voicemail
system sends a notification to your phone when you have
new voice messages.
Web Messages
can come in the form of numeric pages,
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Messages* and Updates*, as well
as notification of new Sprint PCS Wireless Web Mail
SM
*.
(For more information, see “Sending Web Messages” on
page 62 or “Signing Up for Sprint PCS Wireless Web

(For more information on each feature, see the
appropriate chapter in Section 15: “Experiencing
