Messaging Basics
Knowing When You Have Messages
There are several ways your PCS Phone alerts you to new 
messages:
By displaying a message on the screen
By sounding the assigned ringer type
By the LED blinking red
By displaying 
 at the top of your screen for voicemail 
messages, 
 for text messages, or 
 for both voice and 
text messages
Message Types
There are two types of messaging features available from 
your PCS Phone’s menu. You can receive voicemail and 
PCS Messages (also known as page/text or SMS messages) as 
long as your phone has enough memory to store them.
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 and an asterisk (*) is displayed in front of the 
Voicemail menu option. (See “Using Voicemail” on page 79.)
PCS Messages (appear on your phone’s menu as Page/Text 
under the Messages option) include numeric pages, Email, 
and Updates. (See “PCS Messages” on page 86.)
