for new messages if you are in a roaming service area
for an extended time.

Dial 1 + area code + your wireless phone number.

2.

When you hear the voicemail greeting, press

.

3.

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

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