Setting Up Your Voicemail
All unanswered phone calls to your phone are automatically
transferred to your voicemail, even if your phone is in use or
turned off. Therefore, you want to set up your Sprint
Voicemail and personal greeting as soon as your phone is
activated. If you need to set up your voicemail, see “Setting
Up Your Voicemail” on page 5.
