  1. Select “Contcs” (contacts) at the bottom of the screen by pushing the “soft key” under “Contcs”
  2. Using the “scroll bar” highlight the person you want to “Alert”
  3. Select “Alert” at the bottom of the screen by pushing the “soft key” under “Alert”

Pass Code = Your Nextel phone number without area code (until you change it)

Mailbox Number = area code plus Nextel phone number

To check Voice Mail:

  1. From a Landline: (Strongly recommended as no airtime minutes are used.)

Dial your exchange(1st 3 digits of phone number) + 6245 (MAIL) Example: 382-6245, 451-6245

Enter your Pass Code, after prompts enter your Mailbox Number

  1. From your Nextel phone: (This method will use airtime minutes.)

From the Mail menu, select the button on the keypad that looks like pieces of paper.

Using the “scroll bar” arrow down until you see “Messages”

Then hit the “select” option at the bottom of the screen by pushing the “soft key”

“Voice Mail” should already be highlighted on your screen

Select the “call” option by pushing the “soft key”

Enter your Pass Code

  1. One thing to remember is that if you are in the office or near a landline that you can use to check your voice mails, you should use that option. You use “airtime” when you check voice mails from your Nextel, but when you check from the landline there is no charge/fee.

To check Minutes Used on your phone(during current bill cycle):

  1. The ACES billing cycle is from the 2nd of one month till the 1st of the next month.
  2. From your Nextel phone dial “612”. There is an automated greeting that will come on and it will tell you the parameters of the information you are about to receive, how many minutes used, what plan you are on and even what that plan includes.
  3. You may want to do this around the middle of the month, just to get an idea of how many minutes you have used for the current billing cycle.
  4. Keep in mind that all minutes ‘incoming’ and ‘outgoing’ count against the monthly cell phone minutes.
