Does the phone need to be turned on before, I recieve someone's voice message? If the tracfone is turned off and you recieve their voice mail, leave a message, but the message that was left was never in the inbox. So if the phone is off even though the person gets voice mail and leaves a message after the beep, you never receive that message? I've left voice messages on someones tracfone (their phone off) and they never got those messages.
