How to Transfer to Voice Mail Delay in Sprint
For cell phone owners, the voice mail feature is essential. If you miss a caller's call, or are unable to take calls, your callers can easily leave a message for you to address at your convenience. There are times, however, when you would like there to be a delay between you not answering your cell phone and your caller being directed to voice mail, perhaps because you simply can't answer your phone as quickly as you would like. Like most cell phone service providers, Sprint allows you to set up your cell phone so you can delay sending callers to voice mail.
