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 your home network. You may not be able to access certain calling features, such as Wireless Web.

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 Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls.

You will experience a few differences including:

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

•Some calling features which are standard on your home Network, such as Call Waiting, Wireless Web and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

•There are security and privacy risks, such as 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 your home 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 the service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to your home network.
