Voice messages
Voice mail is a network service that may require a
subscription from your service provider.
Once everything is set up for your voice mailbox (see next
page), your phone will notify you when you receive a voice
message.
New voice message will appear on the display along with
the
icon, and you’ll hear a short beep. Your phone
will display the number of voice messages if you’ve
received more than one.

Setting up your voice mailbox
Before you can retrieve any voice messages, you need to
store your voice mailbox number. Your service provider
usually gives this number to you.
When you’re ready to store your voice mailbox number,
press Menu 0-1-2-2 (Messages - Voice messages -
Voice mailbox number). Then enter your voice mailbox
phone number and press OK. This number can be up to 32
digits long and is used until it’s changed. So if your phone
number changes, you may need to change your voice
mailbox number along with it.
Note: Some service providers automatically pre-program
this number into your phone. You will only be able
to view (and not change) this number.
Greetings, passwords, and prompts
These may vary in different wireless systems. So if you
need information about how to record your greeting or
how to store your password, contact your service provider.
You’ll also need to contact them on how to listen to voice
messages once you’re connected to your voice mailbox.
Listening to your voice messages
If New voice message is displayed, just press Listen and
follow the prompts. If you’d rather listen to your messages
later, press Exit.
You can listen to messages anytime if you press and hold
the 1 key (or press 1, then
). Calling voice mailbox
will appear on the display. Or if you prefer, you can access
your voice mailbox by pressing Menu 0-1-2-1 (Messages -
Voice messages - Listen to voice messages).
Voice message notification
A caller who leaves you a voice message can specify a
message priority level if the network supports this
feature:
• New voice message - This is a normal priority
message; it can be sent by anyone.
79
• Urgent voice mail - The person who sends this kind
of message is requesting an immediate reply. This kind
of message can be sent by anyone.
• Emergency voice mail - This kind of message can be
sent only by a network operator or person in authority
when life of property is threatened.
New voice message notifications overwrite older ones,
regardless of priority level. For example, if Emergency
voice mail is displayed and you receive a new voice
message of normal priority, the emergency message
notification will disappear and the New voice message
notification will be displayed.
Clearing the voice message icon
In most networks, the voice message icon will automatically
be cleared a few seconds after listening to your last new
message. If the network in which you are currently using
your phone does not automatically clear the voice message
icon, you can manually clear the icon. To clear the icon,
press Menu 0-1-2-3 (Messages - Voice messages -
Clear voice message icon), then press Clear.
