Save and delete messages

Voicemails are deleted if the auto-save period is reached. The auto-save period can be from 14 to 30-days, depending on the type of voicemail. If you hear "You have (# of vm) voicemail message(s) which is due to automatic deletion..." check out the steps on this page to save the messages.

After you've listened to your voicemail message, select the 9 key to save the message. You can repeat this to save the message in your voicemail box before the auto-save period runs out. To retrieve the saved message and save it to a different location, set up your T-Mobile account online, and see the Use voicemail on a computer steps on this page. You can save a voicemail if it is less than 30-days from the day it was originally left or when it was saved.

If you're listening to your voicemail and delete it, don't hang up! A voicemail message can be retrieved before the same call is disconnected. Once the call has ended there is no way to retrieve the deleted voicemail message.
