Using the Call History view
The Call History view provides quick access to the previous 1,000 
incoming and outgoing calls.
If you miss a call when your PCS Treo 300 is on and you remain in a 
coverage area, your missed calls appear in the Call History list and you 
receive a missed call alert message. When your phone is off or you travel 
outside a coverage area, your missed calls are forwarded to voicemail and 
they do not appear in the Call History list. Similarly, when your phone is 
off or you travel outside a coverage area, the PCS network stores your text 
messages until you turn on your phone or return to a coverage area.
