Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re

off the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. The following

chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using

your phone.

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 digital networks, your call quality and

security will be similar to the quality you receive when making

calls on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may

not be able to access certain features.

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.
