116 3A. Sprint Service: The Basics

Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network: the
onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard
makes it easy to manage your roaming by requiring an
extra step before you can place or answer a roaming
call. (This additional step is not required when you make
or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint Network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Highlight and press > Settings > More... >
Roaming > Call Guard.
2. Highlight On or Off and press.
To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the
seven-digit number and press .
2. Select YES.
To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. Press . (A message will be displayed notifying
you that roaming charges will apply.)
2. Select YES.

Data RoamGuard

Depending on service availability and roaming
agreements, your phone may be able to access data
services while roaming on certain digital systems. You
can set your phone to alert you when you are roaming
off the Nationwide Sprint Network and try to use data
services such as messaging.
Note Call Guard is turned on by default on your phone.
Voice dialing and speed dialing are not available
when you are roaming with Call Guard enabled.
Note If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to
take extra steps to make and receive roaming calls.
