Voicemail Notification
There are a couple of different ways your phone alerts you to a new voicemail message.
ɒ By sounding the assigned ringer type.
ɒ By displaying within the Notifications area of the Status bar when a single new unheard
voicemail message is received.

is recommended that you periodically check your voicemail by dialing 1 + area code + your

new messages only when it is turned on and you are in a network service area.
