Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual band/ tri-mode Sprint PCS Vision Phone works anywhere on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where we've implemented roaming agreements with other carriers.

This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience.
