Press any key to stop blinking LED or playing the ringer alert.
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.
䊳 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.
