Voicemail Notification

There are several ways your phone alerts you to a new message:

●By sounding the notification ringtone.

●By displaying in the Notifications area of the Status Bar when a new voicemail message(s) are received.

●By displaying the number of new voicemail message(s) on the Voicemail app icon.

Note: Your phone accepts voicemail even when it is turned off. However, your phone only notifies you of new messages when it is turned on and you are in a network service area. When you are outside the 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 wireless phone number. Roaming rates apply when you access voicemail while outside the network.

This new feature periodically goes out to your voicemail, and gathers the caller information from all of the current voicemails. It then populates a list with the caller name and number, along with the length of time and priority level of the voicemail message.
