68 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
quality similar to thatprovided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features, such as Data service, will be
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access
voicemail. If you are accustomed to Data Service, you may
notice some of the following differences when using analog
service:
䢇You are more likely to experience static, crosstalk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
䢇Some features which are standard on the available
network, such as call waiting, Data service, and direct
international dialing, may be unavailable.
䢇Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will notreceive notification until you
return to the available network. (See “Checking for
Voicemail Messages While Roaming”.)
䢇There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) thatexist with conventional analog services
today.
䢇Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge itmore often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
Note: When usingyour phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm.
This is normal for analog operation.
