Protect your Lotus

I recommend putting your name and address on the inside of the battery cover with a simple sticker. It makes sense to write your contact details on it so that if an honest person finds it, it can make it's way back to you.

Sprint Voicemail

When someone gets your voicemail and they have to listen to the long prompts, they are losing minutes. Greedy phone companies know this and intentionally make long default messages. Sprint allows you to cut down the size of the message and even the prompts inside your voicemail. Save your friends' minutes and time by creating a quick message and also turn off those long winded instructions to leave a callback number.

Read through Sprint's official PDF: Sprint PCS Voicemail Guide [63K] to learn how to personalize your greeting and save everyone voicemail minutes.
