Hi!

Jack here, the Voicemail guy at Sprint. I work to set up the voicemail systems for your cellphones. Why did we set up the voicemail prompts to be so long? Well, we have to assume everyone is a beginner, though, so we give them as much instruction as possible on how to use voicemail. For our advanced users we have some shortcuts:

How to Streamline your Sprint Voicemail Experience:

To skip your Passcode**,

Dial into your voicemail, press 3 for personal options, select 1 for settings, then select 1 to skip passcode**.



To Turn off Numeric Paging option at the end of your outgoing out going message:

Dial into your voicemail account, select 3 for personal options, select 1 for settings, then select 6 to skip the Numeric Paging option.



To turn on Expert Mode – this helps you navigate more rapidly through the voicemail system by shortening the voice prompts you hear at each level.

Dial into your voicemail account, select 3 for personal options, then select 3 to turn on expert mode



To turn off message date and time

Dial into your voicemail account, select 3 for personal options, select 1 for settings, and then 3 to turn off message date and time.



To turn off caller instructions aka "TAKE BACK THE BEEP"

Dial into your voicemail accout, select 3 for personal options, select 2 for greetings, select 1 for main greeting, select 3 for add or remove caller instructions, then press 2 for do not play instructions. (thanks StarmanDX)

** If you choose to disable your passcode, your voicemail account will be vulnerable to unauthorized access. Sprint strongly recommends that you use a passcode. This is the best way to protect your account from unauthorized access.

Please note – these options only apply to Sprint CDMA voicemail systems, not iDEN or Visual Voicemail.

I want to thank Will for setting up this forum this afternoon - I'll be monitoring your comments out here going foward!

Thanks,

Jack
