Sending Sprint PCS Wireless Web
Messages
There are three ways to send a Sprint PCS
Wireless Web message to a Sprint PCS Phone:
1. Email (your phone number @
messaging.sprintpcs.com).
2. Through the Sprint PCS Web site –
www.sprintpcs.com.
Select the wireless web messaging link.
3. Using a messaging software (TAP 1.5
compatible).
Setting up Voicemail
The first thing you’ll want to do after
activating your phone is to set up voicemail.
See Section 1 page 6 for instructions.
Message Types
There are four types of messaging functions
available on your Sprint PCS Phone. You can
receive voicemail, numeric pages, Sprint PCS
Wireless Web messages and Web Alerts as
long as your phone has enough memory
locations to store them.
Voicemail captures calls automatically when
you can’t answer your phone or it is turned
off. The voicemail system sends a notification
to your phone letting you know when you
have new voice messages waiting in your
voicemail box.
Numeric Paging (appears on your phone’s
menu as
Page/Text messages) allows a caller
to enter a phone number into your voicemail
box
instead of a voice message. The phone
number
appears on your phone as a numeric
page.
Sprint PCS Wireless Web Messaging
(appears on your phone’s menu as Page/Text
messages) displays short alphanumeric
messages on your phone’s display screen. You
must purchase a Sprint PCS Wireless Web
Messaging Option to receive text messages on
your Sprint PCS Phone.
Tip:
When you are
roaming off the
Sprint PCS Network,
you may not receive
notification of new
voicemail messages.
It is recommended
that you periodically
check your voicemail
by dialing 1 + area
code + your
Sprint PCS Phone
Number.
