Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.

Roaming Indicator

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network

Other/Analog Networks

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain calling features, such as PCS Vision.

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling features, such as PCS Vision, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. You will experience a few differences:

You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and dropped calls.

Some calling features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision Products and Services and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you can periodically check your voicemail for new messages by dialing 1+area code+your PCS

Phone Number. Press when you hear your greeting and enter your pass code at the prompt.

There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.

Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for analog roaming.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide

PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings on your dual band phone to control your roaming experience:

1.From the Standby mode, press to display the main menu.

2.Highlight Settings and press .

3.Highlight Roaming and press .

4.Highlight Set Mode and press .

5.To select an option, select it and press .

Sprint: This setting allows you to select the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

Automatic: This setting seeks Sprint Service. When Sprint Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an alternative system.

Analog: This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming system. The previous setting is restored the next time the phone is turned on.
