you turn on your phone.
How do I know when my phone is connected to PCS Vision services?

or an incoming message arrives. Your phone will also display the

forwarded to voicemail. You can place an outgoing call anytime, but
it will interrupt any in-progress PCS Vision session.

phone’s display screen.
When is my data connection dormant?

for an extended period of time, the connection will terminate.
Can I sign out of data services?
You can sign out without turning off your phone; however, you will
not be able to browse the Web or use other PCS Vision services.
While signed out, you can still place or receive phone calls, check
voicemail, and use other voice services. You may sign in again at any
time. To sign out, go to Settings > PCS Vision > Disable Vision in your
phone’s menu.
