Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network, you may not receive on-device 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.

Press the

Talk

key again to call your voicemail.

4.

When you hear your voicemail greeting, tap

on the Phone keypad.

Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.

When you return to the Nationwide Sprint Network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.

following modes:

device searches for an alternate system.

Using Call Guard

Your device has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network: the
onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming by requiring an
extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is not required when you
make or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint Network)

On

the message, and then tap

to place the call.

Note

• Call Guard is turned off by default on your phone.

• Automatic speed recognition (ASR) and speed dialing are not available when you are roaming with Call Guard

enabled.
