Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ().
Tip:
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note:
Unless your Sprint service plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher
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 Sprint National Network. However, depending on the network available where you are roaming, certain features may not be available.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the network.
